Tecumseh snow king 1628 (3hp) spark plug

Hi, I've had this snow thrower apart for quite some time now and I cannot find the spark plug that I took out. Can anyone please tell me what the proper plug is for this engine? Also if someone can tell me if this is HSK600 or a TVS or whatever. Thanks

Well, you have conflicting information provided. If it is a "Snow King" Tecumseh engine, then it would be a HSK-series engine. If the "1628" portion is correct, then it can't be a Snow King since there is no HSK600 with a spec. number of 1628. If it is in fact a three horse AND the 1628 is correct (which I believe you have), then you have a AH600-1628 Tecumseh engine. Whether it be the AH or HSK series engine, you will use a Champion CJ8Y spark plug.

The reason I mentioned "snow King" is because that is what is on the keys for the engine shut off So I assumed it was a Snow King engine. I found no other # on the engine but the 1628 on the Aluminum tag and on the flywheel cover. Thanks for the info

From what I researched on your number, it is probably an AH600-1628
The 1628 number is good in the Tecumseh 2 cycle mech manual. The plug for it should be (champion) RCJ-8Y
Hope this helps.

Honda GCV190 - engine won't accelerate

R

razcob on Jan 16, 2006

I have a Honda HRX217TDA with a GCV190 engine, which is less than two years old. When I restart the engine after refueling/mowing, I push the throttle forward from idle and the engine won't accelerate. It will start immediately in the any throttle position, but it only idles. It doesn't seem to do this when cold. Any suggestions?Read More

HSK600 2-cy Tecumseh 3h S-blower engine spark at BDC, not TDC (snapper 3201)

HSK600 Tecumseh 3h S-blower engine spark at BDC, not TDC Ok I volunteered to fix a friends Snapper SB, yada-yada. He told me it worked last year, I think he got it from the dump ( a real beauty though). Removed plug and put in a little gas. Now it did not start, but there was spark..... but when I removed the spark plug I noted that the spark was occuring at BDC (bottom dead center). I used a pencil to note BDC and watched the spark and magnets move by the ignition module. The flywheel has an adapter that adapts the wider flywheel key to the smaller crank key. This adapter in essence makes a flywheel that has a too-wide diameter fit a smaller crank diameter. If anyone reads this I'll post a picture. It is clear that the key is 180 degrees out of what is needed to spark at TDC. Has anyone ever seen this? The flywheel key was partially broken and I think that the original owner knew he had the wrong flywheel so he basically removed the key and repositioned the flywheel 180 deg away from key, but this gave spark at TDC or close enough to run. I plan to call a vendor to buy a new flywheel after he sends me a pix and I confirm that it is truely wrong. Thanks BruceRead More
