    Those Tecumseh coils seem to be very reliable. I have messed with many of those engines, on snow blowers and lawn mowers, and have never seen a bad one yet. Even their condensers seem indestructible. 99% of the time, if a Tecumseh has no spark, it’s just that the points are dirty. They don’t produce a huge whack like OMCs, though. Maybe that’s why they last. Tecumseh spark plug gap is .025.

    Long live American manufacturing!
