SPECIFICATIONS

ENGINE TYPE NUMBER AND LETTER REFERENCE

Tecumseh has used two different methods of identifying 2 cycle engines.
The first method was used until the mid 1980's using the base model number with a type number. The type

number was used to identify variations for the OEM's specific needs.
The second method was put in place to standardize 2 cycle and 4 cycle engine identification. The type

number has now become the specification number, which is preceded by the engine model. Example: AV520
Tecumseh type numbers are stamped into the blower housing, or are located on a nameplate or tag on the

engine.
Model and Specification numbers are either stamped into the blower housing, or located on a decal on the

side of the blower housing.
