Spirit 1993 Snowblower D2450050

I have an older Spirit snowblower. The serial number is D2450050. I belive it is a 1993. I would like to know what oil to use in it and how much it holds.

Someone may recognize the make and model, but if you could post the engine make and model # that should nail down the information for you.

It is a Tecumseh 5.0 HP. I was not able to find a model number.

I use 10/30 full sinthetic [my choice] and my 46 yr old tecumseh runs fine. In colder areas you might want to use a lighter grade. Change it at the end of the season.

Sears air compressor trips breaker

T

tshort13 on Mar 03, 2013

My father-in-law's 35 gallon Sears air compressor is several years old and ran fine. Now the breaker trips after 5-10 seconds of operation. We have checked both the start and run capacitors and they check OK. We also switched breakers with no change. It runs on 110 VAC. With a DMM the motor does not show a ground. Any input is welcome.Read More

My JX75 lawn mower will not fire. When I apply an ether based "cold start" spray to the air inlet it will fire for a second or so but then stops. Also, I notice that engine oil has been dripping from an open polythene tube which is connected to the carburetor. I suspect that this is because I stored the machine over winter at an angle - the rear wheels 9" above the front ones - and oil has seeped into a part of the engine. Can an expert guide me through the process of correcting this, please. Thank you. AlexRead More
