Hope you have better luck with the Techumseh engine than I had with a used small wood chipper. The Techumseh lasted 20 minutes before it blew a 6" hole out the side of the engine. No more nothing with a Techumseh for me.
Did you put oil in it and was the governor working ?

Oil level appeared to be full. All was fine until the explosion. It was even chipping pretty good for the 20 minutes of running. I have no explanation as to the cause of the failure, but the 4" diameter hole in the side of the engine was a pretty good evidence that the engine could not be repaired.
I'm not suggesting that every Techumseh motor is a pile of junk - only the one time for me was disappointing.
