I got a new mower this summer and it came with a Tec It starts with a big
black cloud of smoke, runs rough when choked and stumbles until warmed up.
Then it's fine. Sounds like carb trouble doesn't it? I'll try and adjust it
this spring.

I had an 8hp B&S I bought back in 1994. Kept it under service agreement
and it was replaced with a new one this week. Its a 8.5 hp Tecumseh. The
safety features and other things are nice, but I sure miss my B&S.
This Tecumseh is backfiring on low speed right out of the box. I can't
really complain about get a replacement, though.

On the other hand, I bought an Intek B&S 6.5 hp and that sucker runs!
