Parts for your Tecumseh engines are still available. If they haven't been blown or full of water, they can be brought up to snuff for less than $100.00. Or, you can buy a new Tecumseh. A 5hp sells for less than $200.00 from varoius vendors. While not original, the grand kids will still have loads of fun!

Rudy, .005" out of round is repairable with boring and honing. These motors can go .010-.020 over safely and still use genuine Tecumseh parts to maintain quality. Shoot me an email and I can steer you in the right direction. SC3283@aol.com
