New short blocks are identified by a tag marked S.B.H.<br />
(Short Block Horizontal) or S.B.V. (Short Block<br />
Vertical). Original model identification numbers of an<br />
engine should always be transferred to a new short<br />
block for correct parts identification (diag. 3).<br />

Tecumseh Products Company strongly recommends the use of fresh, clean, unleaded regular gasoline in all<br />
Tecumseh <strong>Engine</strong>s. Unleaded gasoline burns cleaner, extends engine life, and promotes good starting by<br />
reducing the build up of combustion chamber deposits. Unleaded regular, unleaded premium or reformulated<br />
gasoline containing no more than 10% Ethanol, or 15% MTBE, or 15% ETBE may also be used.<br />
Leaded fuel is generally not available in the United States and should not be used if any of the above options<br />
are available.<br />
Never use gasoline, fuel conditioners, additives or stabilizers containing methanol, white gas, or fuel blends<br />
which exceed the limits specified above for Ethanol, MTBE, or ETBE because engine/fuel system damage<br />
could result.<br />
Regardless of which of the approved fuels are used, fuel quality is critical to engine performance. Fuel should<br />
not be stored in an engine or container more than 30 days prior to use. This time may be extended with the<br />
use of a fuel stabilizer like TECUMSEH'S, part number 730245.<br />
See "STORAGE" instructions in the Technician's Manual, Operators Manual, or Bulletin 111.<br />

FOR WINTER (Below 32 0 F) (0 o C) USE SAE5W30 OIL. PART #730226<br />
(SAE 10W is an acceptable substitute.)<br />
(BELOW 0 0 F (-18 o C) ONLY): SAE 0W30 is an acceptable substitute.<br />
