Wow, OK. . .thanks for that info! I was worried that vacuum port would leak or something I guess, and also not sure if there were any huge differences between 2 and 4 stroke carbs? Running this Rotax is sounding more and more doable, as I have several extra Tecumseh carbs and they do mesh up to the Rotax carb mount.
I am going to give it a whirl in the next couple of days (once I finish a project on my van I am trying to wrap up) and see what happens. I'll try the stock carb first and if no-go, I can try a known good working Tec 5HP carb.
Two (basic) questions though, is this push-pull thingy on the front a compression release? It seems like it but the knob broke when I tried to push or pull it (the cable seems all stuck)
Also, there is this little yellow lever thingy I'm not sure what it is for....it goes in and out and makes a "chunk" sound when you move it but not sure what it is for?
I am assuming the red button is the shut off for the Bosch magneto but I sure wish I could find ANY kind of literature for this dang thing (I just have a kinda bad scan parts manual) . . ..even a basic operators manual would answer these embarrassingly basic questions.... :001_tongue:
