UP UP UP can only go up from here......yeah...yeah...yeah....



sung succinctly by Shania Twain.....its about as bad as it could be........



I blogged recently about Tecumseh parts that are now made overseas. We are working late on a Saturday night to get a snowblower done for a storm that is coming up the Atlantic coastline this coming Wednesday....we had a very close brush today but the blockbuster that hit Washington D.C. with feet of snow missing us..... take the entire flywheel off and again change points and condenser put all back together except the starter cover.


 Mr. Fix-it asked me if I wanted a picture of the ignition spark to put in this post, and we plug in and press electric starter button and VOILA! NO SPARK!  go figure........had to take apart and straighten contact area, it is bad from factory,( probably a  factory overseas employing children)
We spoke to supplier several weeks ago about these sub-par parts, looks they are still sending them out.....you can't beat big business.....one day they will all come toppling down......a shot will be heard across the country on quality soon enough just like the recent upheaval in the U.S. Senate.
