How to Install a 631021B Carb Kit

The 631021B is a carburetor-rebuild kit manufactured for Tecumseh small-gas engines. Tecumseh gas engines are popular four-cylinder engines in lawn mowers and two-cycle engines for trimmers and blowers. The kit, which is made for Tecumseh four-cycle lawn mower engines, includes gasket, needle and seat. Over time Tecumseh carburetors and fuel lines can get clogged up with gunk and impurities from the gasoline. When this happens, it is necessary to clean and rebuild the carburetor with a carburetor kit.
