Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Aftermarket Replacement Carburetor for Tecumseh 640262A - Optimize Your Search! by Devin Maselli

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Go OEM and save yourself the headache

I would avoid this carburetor for the following reason, but first. I verified that the float was free by turning the carburetor upside down and hearing the float move freely. Then I installed it on the mower and when I started it the gas gushed out of the air filter hole and the mower naturally went off. I disconnected the fuel line and removed the needle and the float bowl seat was clean and free of debris, checked the float level, everything seemed fine, reassembled. It worked again for about a minute and gas came out of the air filter. At that point, after a few curses and 2 hours for this test, I gave up. I don't see anything obviously wrong unless it's just bad design. I would recommend going with an OEM carburetor instead of these fakes.
