Series 10
This carburetor is for use on all season engine
applications. It is the equivalent of the series "8" with
the addition of a choke. It has a fixed main and idle
with a serviceable main nozzle and a primer assist,
with the added benefit of a choke for cold weather
starting.
Walbro Model LMK
OHV 15-17 models use this float-feed carburetor. The
carburetor is attached to the intake pipe using studs
that also fasten the air filter body. Walbro model and
manufacturing numbers are found on the throttle end
of the carburetor. This carburetor has a fixed,
nonadjustable main mixture jet.
Idle mixture screws were adjustable on early
production OHV15. This has since changed to a fixed
idle jet which may be capped for tamper resistance.
If no spring is visible, the jet is fixed. Servicing should
be done by a Authorized Tecumseh Dealer.
Series 9
Series 9 carburetors are hybrid versions of the
Series 8. This carburetor uses a fixed idle jet and fixed
main fuel circuit. This carburetor is totally
nonadjustable. The bowl nut uses a ball plug on the
bottom to cover the center drilling. Also visible is a
plastic main fuel discharge nozzle in the venturi. The
Idle mixing well and jet will be visible but not machined

Series 8
Series 8 carburetors have both a fixed main and a
fixed idle circuit. These carburetors are totally
nonadjustable. This series of carburetor uses an
integral primer system like the Series 6. Distinguish
this carburetor from the Series 6 by the fixed idle jet
that appears as a screw just above the bowl on the
primer side. This fixed idle jet may also be capped.
