loose

I have a Tecumseh H60 .. the filler tube where is goes in the side cover is loose, doesn't seem to make a good seal. I haven't ran the engine yet so I don't know if it leaks. What can be done to seal it in there?

I'm on a small tablet so its hard to search these things so I'm hoping someone knows off-hand. I removed this engine from my snowblower because I thought the head gasket was gone, but nope...it seems to be the absence of any valve lash (exhaust valve only)..which i think i can handle...

Well I to been a while since I've been onsite, had some health issues and things kinda ground to a halt. anyway, I'm giving the bile a new lease onlife. New sprockets, chain, gaskets etc. While setting valve lash, I noticed a clicking sound when I rotated engine by hand. I seems to be the agents...

1970 Rupp Roadster- Installing some new wheel bearings and notice that they drop in a little TOO easy into the hubs. I am used to having a nice (lightly) press fit, so they do not rotate in the hubs. What are some techniques you use to snug them up a bit? Michael

I recently bought a blank sprocket from OldMiniBikes. Had it drilled, but the chain ran from too loose to too tight. I figured the holes were off. I enlarged the holes & made a bit oblong so I could adjust the fit. No matter what I did, the chain stayed too loose or too tight. I finally took the...

Engine started to miss a lot, then i just ran it for like 30 seconds and it shut off, fuel and spark were good so i took the valve cover off and the rockers seemed loose, are they suppose to be loose or tight? Thanks

Is it even possible to find these any more? How much of his arm would a fella have to loose to get one?

I checked the ring gap on my piston rings and they were within spec . However i noticed i could wiggle the piston side to side really easy inside the cylinder! I replaced the rings and now the piston is nice and snugg within the cylinder. The old rings were thin and brittle. Even though...

In a separate thread where I talked about spacers; one of the fellows who replied mentioned that the bearings in his hub were loose and could be removed without the use of tools. Not a good situation! The body of a bearing is designed to remain stationary while the inner hub (which rides on...

So if you need to file them a bit to fit, cool. But what do you do for a key that's loose even after you tighten down the hub? Put a small shim in there? Tie wire on each side of the hub on the axle? Glue? Other ideas?

On my DB30 the choke switch has become very loose, and the engine vibrations will move it. This is usually when I am going at higher speeds and it will go from fully off to fully on, but it often turns itself from fully on to halfway on when I'm trying to start it also. I found no info online...

Hey guys got a Question for you, We have a Bird Thunderbird with a HS40 on it. It runs fine but while riding on a bumpy surface or if it hits a bump the choke lever vibrates or gets nocked into the on position, then the engine stalls out. The spring that goes in the notch is in tact but the...

What are you doing to stop a bearing from turning in a alum wheel. I tried to prick punch the inside and still seems loose. What loc tite or bearing mount do you use. Thanks

I had another thread going but figured it might be good to start a new one now that I have identified the problem. one question is this amount of play in the crank normal?? 100_0212.MP4 - YouTube replace bushing/bearing?

i took off the honda flywheel. the the small 1/4 circle key is so loose on the shaft. i slide the flywheel on and the key slips out of the groove. is this right?:confused:

I am out of ideas on how to keep the belt tight. I have two sizes of belts Comet 203587A and 203588A. The belt in the picture is 88A. The other belt is too small and the clutch doesn't work properly. Do you guys have any ideas for a belt tighener thing?

First off do you lose power from a loose chain? Also, it happened after I installed the jackshaft. I have the tensioner backed up as far as it'll go. Any suggestions on tightening it?
