I bought a fixed speed (3600 RPM) Tecumseh generator engine from Surplus Center for my planer. It is a 10 hp. It was sold as new but it has probably been sitting for a few years, I would guess. I mounted the pulley on the crankshaft but I have not hooked up the belts. The engine will run about 5 seconds on a cold start and then it begins to surge and the governor control rod moves back and forth. On the Briggs engine on our sawmill I have twice over the years had it do that and both times it has been a little speck of crud in the carb needle and seat area, or at least when I have cleaned that area out it has run well again. I am wondering if I should look at that on this engine or if there is some other problem I should check on. The engine is new and unmodified, the only thing I changed was to slide the pulley on the crank and tighten it down. Any advice will be much appreciated. I am running 30W oil for now, air temp is around 50 degrees F. Zach
