Hs50

[Curly]

About a year ago, we cleaned out an estate of a gentleman who repaired small engines, took about 30 engines. So little by little I've been getting them running. So I dug another engine out from under the tarp. After a leak down test (50%), pulled the head off and lapped the valves, now have a leak down of less than 10%. While I had the schroud off, I attached a wire to the coil for a kill switch. Cleaned the carb, inlet needle holds pressure. Pulled the recoil off a junk engine, stuck some rope in it. Ran it off the bottle, sounds good. 100 lbs compression and good strong spark.

Cool deal.. The ones with the carb bolted on via short adapter manifold thing are H50. HS intake manifold is on the left. Nice motors either way :thumbsup:

Looks like a H50 in the picture, Still a good find.

My bad......... It does say H50 on tag.

Those are nice torquey engines.

in my opinion those big block h engines run better and sound better then the smaller hs engines.

Yeah they do.. Although they are FAR MORE prone to connecting rod failure.. hmy:

Thats why I took the one born to my Rupp Goat, off.. It was getting kinda rattly.. :hang:

yeah, you can't push them too much they don't like real high revs. I have an old 6 hp tecumseh that I run without the "G" connected but I'm very careful to ease off the throttle to keep from breaking it. It sounds like your engine needs a new crank and rod so you did right by not using it until it can be fixed. I made the mistake years ago with a 4 hp tecumseh that was starting to knock and ended up with a hole in the block.

Naaa I'm pretty sure mine is the valves rattling.. It smokes a little but pulls hard as hell.. I have the governor bypassed on it too, and run the hell out of it.. SO.. I figured it was a good idea to take it off, before something bad DID happen..
