Short Blocks - Tecumseh ECV100-120 - TECHNICIAN S Handbook

The number designations following the letter indicate the
horsepower or cubic inch displacement.
The number following the model number is the
specification number. The last three numbers of the
specification number indicate a variation to the basic
engine specification.
The serial number or D.O.M. indicates the production date.
Using model LEV115-57010B, serial 8105C as an
example, interpretation is as follows:
LEV115-57010B is the model and specification number
LEV Low Emissions Vertical
115 Indicates a 11.5 cubic inch displacement
57010B is the specification number used for properly
identifying the parts of the engine
8105C is the serial number
8 first digit is the year of manufacture (1998)
105 indicates calendar day of that year (105th day
or April 15, 1998)
C represents the line and shift on which the
engine was built at the factory.

SHORT BLOCKS

New short blocks are identified by a tag marked S.B.H.
(Short Block Horizontal) or S.B.V. (Short Block Vertical).
Original model identification numbers of an engine should
always be transferred to a new short block for correct
parts identification (diag. 4).
THIS SYMBOL POINTS OUT IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHICH IF NOT
FOLLOWED COULD
PERSONAL SAFETY OF YOURSELF AND
OTHERS. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
FUEL
Tecumseh strongly recommends the use of fresh clean unleaded regular gasoline in all engines. Unleaded gasoline
burns cleaner, extends engine life and promotes better starting by reducing build-up of combustion chamber deposits.
REFORMULATED AND OXYGENATED FUELS
Reformulated fuels containing no more than 10% Ethanol, 15% MTBE, 15% ETBE or premium gasoline can be used
if unleaded regular gasoline is not available. Leaded fuel may be used in countries where unleaded fuel is not available.
NEVER USE FUEL CONTAINING METHANOL.
