working on a repower here, on a rider mower. Replacing a blown 13hp Tecumseh OHV "Formula" engine with a 13hp Tecumseh "Enduro". The Formula engine had a hose barb threaded into the front of the block, where the Enduro has no fitting for a vacuum line anywhere.
I don't really want to drill and tap the block because i don't want to take it apart to flush out the filings. IS there anywhere else that I can put a fitting to run the fuel pump? I was thinking that I have seen some OHV's with such a fitting on the valve cover. That would be less work to remove so that I didn't get shavings inside the engine if that would be feasible/
or any other way/place on the engine that this would work?
