Dating a Tecumseh 3hp can be tricky. They like to go to gas stations but you have to ask them nicely. Pull the rope gently and sometimes fool around with their choke. Good luck timing is everything.

You could "slim down" that dipstick by taking a little material off each side.

That's it, heat with heat gun, and bend.

Maybe cut a section out of the middle, heat up the ends to get the plastic melting and press them together, seal it up with some heat shrink. cut down the dipstick. Or just cut it and tap it to fit some bolt you got laying around.

Good for you. Looks like a rusty tank or fuel line. Could maybe use an inline filter till that gets sorted out.

Take a look at your plug after a few pulls, wet or dry? if it's dry try priming it with a little gas. I'm betting carburetor.

I wonder how that story ended?
