Old tecumseh 8hp. I have some Questions.....

[deezildennis]

Im Picking up a old Flathead Tecumseh 8 hp tomorrow It Runs pretty good but needs a carb kit or a new carb.
Tag says :Model H80

I assume That's the #'s I need to get a carb or a carb kit for it?

Also will this thing bolt on the standard Minibike Motor plate or is its bolt pattern bigger? If its Bigger, does anyone sell plates with the correct slots in it?

Thanks ahead of time.

A carb kit is all you'll need in most cases and most lawnmower shops will want the number after H80 or number on the carb, don't know about the mounts but you couls make your own.

I'd rather just use one of the 5 precut plates I have now.
I wont know Diamensions of the actual motor until I pick it up tomarrow.

I'll yank the carb and get the #'s.
Thanks.
