If you can't find listing for eng at sears website,take sears mod# from tag to one/more local mower shops,most shops have a sears/tecumseh cross ref that they can lookup tecumseh eng from that number & order rebuild kit or complete oem/after market carb(if needed). Once you have pn of carb you can also check on ebay for a new/used oem/after market carb or do a goggle search for tecumseh and carb pn,you can also locate a rebuild kit the same way if you have pn for kit. parts [Reply]  [No Email]

The engine model number should be on the flywheel shroud. If it has a carburetor on it, it could probably be rebuilt. [Reply]  [No Email]
