Three years ago I bought an old Troy Built that I assume is in the 40 year old range. Paid a bit too much but the seller was a friend who needed money. It has a Tecumseh and it didn't run worth a hoot. I nursed it along the first year but it was so darned hard to keep running. Last spring I took the carb apart and found the tip of the load needle mangled up so I cleaned it up and threw in a needle and seat and new load needle. After that it started on the first pull and ran like a top. Now after going through a summer of use it has reverted back to being a normal Tecumseh. I don't know if it will start on the first pull or the twentieth pull but it does start. Once it's running it works like a champ though it does blow a little blue smoke but I figure the smoke gives it character. LOL
