* Many Models: There are countless Tecumseh engine models, each with unique specifications and belt requirements.
* Application: The belt size also depends on the equipment the engine is powering (lawnmower, generator, etc.).
* Belt Length: Belt length is crucial. You need to know the distance between the engine pulley and the driven pulley to determine the right length.
To find the correct belt size:
1. Identify your engine model: Look for a model number or serial number on the engine.
2. Refer to the owner's manual: The manual should list the correct belt size and specifications.
3. Contact Tecumseh: You can contact Tecumseh directly with your engine model and application to get the right information.
4. Local dealer: A local small engine repair shop or dealer can help you determine the correct belt size.
5. Measure the old belt: If you still have the old belt, carefully measure its length and compare it to the specs listed in your manual or from the sources above.
Remember: It's important to use the correct size belt for safe and optimal performance. Installing the wrong belt can lead to premature wear, slippage, and even damage to your equipment.
