Well, is a Ford any good? Many HATE Tecumseh, not without some validation. Tecumseh, ( especially the newer ones, ...as previously mentioned,...are notorious for carb problems.)
Another problem with Tecumseh is they are no longer in business. I'm the kind of guy that loves to see old stuff revitalized. However, be aware that it's not the easiest route.
I'm not going to say any more at this time.
