Tecumseh Recoils Riveted? Screwed ?

[KustomKartKid]

Quick question for the Tec gurus...did Tecumseh start screwing on the starter recoils at some point instead of riveting them or did it depend on the model, hp etc....I have an older 2-1/2 that's riveted and then there's this 3-1/2 that's screwed on and looks factory to me (and apparently from around the same era....)

Yes they had screws also..they also had studs with nuts to hold on alot along with riveted ones.

hmmmm, that stud version would probably hold up best with a kick starter.

Kickstarts are very harsh on any cover. They tend to start to make the cover start to crack by the head bolts. Just a heads up.
