Service Tips - Tecumseh ECV105 Technician's Handbook

Other Solid State Systems
The following systems are located under the flywheel. All
components are encapsulated into one module. No timing
is necessary with this type (diag. 31, 32, 33).
Check the system by checking for a spark or use a
commercially available test equipment.

SERVICE TIPS

DO NOT:
Interchange flywheels, flywheel keys, spark plugs,
condensers, or points. (Some systems do not use
standard points and condensers.)
Use flywheels with cooling fins that are broken off.
Reglue ceramic magnets back onto the inside of the
flywheel.
Re-oil the cam wiper in a magneto system.
Use a standard business card as an air gap gauge.
File the contact points.
Attempt to reglue the spark plug lead back into a coil
or a solid state module.
Store a solid state module within 20 feet (6.1 meters)
of an unshielded welder.
PLEASE DO:
Follow directions carefully.
Lookup the correct ignition dimensions in the proper
mechanic's manual or quick reference chart, for the
engine being repaired.
Clean points with lint free paper after setting gap.
Reinstall the point terminal nut and tighten after
removing leads, before timing procedure.
Remember to correctly TIME a Tecumseh engine,
even when just changing points on a magneto
system.
Remember to use correct air gap gauge.
Check for correct flywheel key which effects timing.
