OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Tecumseh / Kirby Engines Tecumseh OV 358 ea information

and so the confusion begins.

I am seeking to download a repair manual for this engine. I had no idea there would be so many variables of almost or nearly or sorta, kinda, almost similar to the official part number for this manual, Part no. 695244A. However, there is.

Hopefully and presumably someone here has been through this process before, succeeded and would be willing to share this info with me.

Have found the site that promises not to charge me anything after I type in my credit card details, numerous times!

No credit card, poor me.

Now all the parts are clean, I have manage to ascertain damage, destroyed conrod bolt plate. Have managed to do a dry/practice reassemble ands it looks ok, haha. No doubt that sort of fun is just about to begin.

Any thoughts on where I can sources conrod and gaskets?
Will the prices render it prohibitive or should I look for a replacement/second hand motor?

All thoughts appreciated.

edgedweller,

You can us the parts lookup left side (under site links) of the forum to get your part numbers and then you should be able to order from the online store. They will give you pricing and availability.

Thanks Bruce and Aussietrev, am making some headway.

Realistically, the whole thing is giving me a headache so I am ignoring it for a few days in the vague hope it can get itself into an identifiable order.

So many numbers!!!
