I love playing with engines, ignition systems, magnets and old generators. My site is always under construction, but this is what I have today.

The first five pages of the site is about the TECUMSEH Solid State Ignition systems on the HH 100, HH 120, OH 140 and OH160 engines. This work is largely in response to two internet clubs: thesearsgardentractorgroup@yahoogroups.com and 

tecumseh_engine_group.yahoogroups.com . The pages have evolved as follows:

1. Tecumseh Solid State Igniton Autopsies, Schematics and How it Works

This page is a good place to start since it has the explanations of how the ignition works, actual circuit diagrams, the results of autopsies used to generate the actual circuit diagrams, and initial troubleshooting procedures.

2. Solid State Ignition Repair

This page provides repair procedures for one configuration of pn 610759.

3. Tecumseh Solid State Replacement

Tecumseh configuration and part number identification and details for an automotive replacement.

4. Pulse Transformer

Details on how to repair the Pulse Transformer on the early SSI configuration

5. SSI Charge Coil

Details on testing the charging coils and ideas on replacing. Note, only the first section on the early SSI configuration is completed.

6 Parts Needed

7 Small Engine Flywheel Magnets

Maps of the magnetic field on flywheels. Under construction

8. Kohler Light Plant

Kohler 800 E 21 Light Plant with a Briggs and Stratton Model B Engine.

9 Miscellaneous

10. Antique Radios

Page 11 Tractors

Topics yet to come include:
  • How to make and use a Gauss Meter to measure magnets.  
  • Maps of the Magnetic Field Strength on Briggs and Stratton flywheels.
