Sorry if a post just like this one by me shows up. I was down to the last sentence when I hit the wrong key and all went lost.
I have previously posted in the Parts/Repairs as well as the ?Sears Forum questions about a Sears Suburban 10 tractor with a Tecumseh engine (143-579032).
At first, I got no spark with pull test. I stripped down the flywheel and magneto and cleared all the rust and reset all. Still no spark. As I was manipulating the spark wire it came free of its attachment to the housing of the coil. Thru the forum I tried to find a replacement for the coil but could find nothing to match the Tecumseh listing in the various parts sources on the internet. Somewhere, I got a 32014 for the coil and 32015 part number, but i can't seem to backtrack where I got these from, but in any case, nothing comes up when I web search.
So in the meantime, I did a self repair of the coil and plug wire by cleaning the wire as well as the coil insert opening and rammed it back in and sealed the perimeter contact of the wire to the coil housing. I re installed all and lo and behold I then got spark. But then no ignition after fuel to the intake manifold or the carb.
I then dismantled the carb and cleaned it meticulously. still no ignition. Let me digress, before I did all of the above, as I tried to pull the recoil it barely moved with the SP removed. I gave it a through RustBuster infusion as well as oil and let it set for several days. Then when I pulled the recoil. it moved freely and there seemed to be compression.
After the carb job and still no ignition, I took a very close look into the top of the head via the SP hole and there are multiple particles of rust.
Two Questions at this point:
1. Since I need to remove the head now, will I ever be able to find replacement parts for this model such as head gasket, other gaskets, piston, cylinder, bearings.? And can anyone direct me to a source if need be.
2. Since I dismantled the carb, it now leaks fuel from the underside of the bowl and I am sure I need a set of replacement gaskets. Can anyone help me identify what make and model this carb is from the attached photos? Also, if you can where can I find these gaskets if they are available?
Again thank you for your patience...I am a pure amateur at this.
