ok i am goint to do my best to give you locations i am going to give you every number on it on the top on the exhust side the numbers 110 and then what apears to be a space then 9E13 so it appears as 110 9E13 that is right under the trottle screw now on the side of the carb is the number 40 stamped in a circle now on the other side of the carb is the number 16 on the bottom of the float bowl is lauson power products grafton wis. made in the u.s.a patenit pending

The carb service part number is 630992B it was built on May 13, 19?9 it fits on a very long list of H50 & H60 engines 5HP & 6HP

They did make a 626 do you have the UT number from the plate on the back of the machine?

[tecumshengine22]

yea i dont have that this isnt the 626 model i have definatly identifyed that it is the 26 how do i tell witch horse power it is becuase as it stands for me it seems to be much larger that a 5 or a 6 either a 7 or an 8hp but i will definatly look those up and the question mark in the date does that mean you dont know or that you just made a typo

[aj-allen]

The question mark in the date means that it was built in 69 or 79 or 89 as far as I know there is no way to tell which. Please post some pictures of the engine.

If this is the engine that was originally on that snowblower, it is a 1969 or 1979. The lack of engagement handles on the handle bars tell me it is pre-1989. The size of the gas tank tells me it is a 7 or 8 hp engine.

[tecumshengine22]

any way to norrow down to a model number

[tecumshengine22]

my great grand father (rest in peace) gave this to me and i remeber him saying it lasted up until the 80s so its not 1989 its origanal color was white i have had the engine completely disasembled so if you need anything that could help you identify it just let me know i could take it apart with my eyes closed

After reading this and looking again at the photos, the engine is a 1969. What gave it away is the so called "primer" that is actually just an extra choke, the button on the carb that you push. It is either a 7 or 8 hp. It has points.

[tecumshengine22]

so do you have any idea what i could do with the info you just gave me to narrow down and possibley get a manual

[tecumshengine22]

so mabey if anybody knew anybody with a jacobsen imperial 26 and i could get the model number from them that might work
