I was wondering how much oil does a 8hp ariens vertical shaft riding mower engine hold in ml? Also the carb has a high speed screw on the bottom of the bowl but the o ring seal for the screw was missing when the guy brought it for repair. Is it just a ordinary o ring or is it a special one? Any help would be appreciated.

 

What kind of engine is on it? (make and model#)

 

It is a tecumseh engine.

 

Call Tecumseh Technical Services at 262-377-2700 and ask.

 

Need to know the model#, as there are different fill capacities for different model # 8hp tecumseh engines.

 

The model # is VM80.

 

A VM80 holds one quart, (32 OZ, or .946 litre)

 

Thanks cheese.

 

Anytime!
