Hello,

I am starting a restoration of an Atco Royale B24 with a Tecumseh engine and a metal grass box.

I can't find an engine code or a year of manufacture so I'm not sure what i'm dealing with. 

Can anyone help please ?

Regards

Pat

Hi Henno, thanks for your reply.

I have identified the engine as a H50, but not sure what year.

I have stripped the engine, 

checked the piston, ok

reground the valves.

changed the plug, points, condenser and coil.

Carb and fuel tank cleaned

I now have compression, fuel and a spark.

However, I can't get a peep out of the engine. I have tried a squirt of brake cleaner in the carb, still nothing.

I set the points and timing by eye so now i need to gat a DTI gauge to be more accurate.

New carb is on the way.

The carburettor looks just a bit dirty. It should be possible to revive that?
Just some carb cleaner spray, some parts like and O ring, maybe a bath in the ultrasonic tank.
What brand model & type is it? Also a Tecumseh?
