Further examination of the Tecumseh 5HP HSSK50 #67340N
engine discussed in a previous thread reveals a damaged idle
mixture screw.
The screw is missing its tapered needle tip. The broken end shows
signs of 'necking' at the break, suggesting a tensile-type failure.
Research of on-line engine parts catalogs indicates this engine
is fitted with Carburetor #632107A. Research of carburetor
parts catalogs indicates that this carburetor is fitted with
Idle Mixture Screw #631838.
A vendor image below of IMS #631838 show a screw that appears
to be similar to the broken OEM IMS.
mounting flange of the actual carburator: 142864A (or possibly
1428G4A).
Is #142864A as stamped on the carb body relevant to determining
replacement parts for the OEM carb? Or as revealed by the catalogs,
is IMS #631838 for carb #632107A the correct item required to
replace the broken part?
Also, is there a kit that includes the #631838 idle mixture screw
along with fresh screw seals, bowl gaskets & ect?.
