Hi there;
This engine does not mix the oil and gas.
I know that fuel is getting into the bowl of the carburetor as it is
filled each time I disassemble it.
I looked at Pat's small engine site and it does not appear that they
have tecumseh carbs.. I'll keep searching. If I can get a new carb for
say $50, I'll do it.
Thanks again,
Rick
