I am working on a Roper snowblower that has a Tecumseh HM-100 engine on it. I believe that the throttle/governor linkages are improperly put together, I cannot get the speed control lever to slow the engine down and speed it up.It will speed up and slow down if I manually work the throttle plate on top of the carb, but the linkage arrangement is not correct. I did an internet search on Roper snowblowers but to no avail. The info on the snowblower is ...

Roper Moto Mower
Model 610-020
it says 10-32 on the cover, I believe this is 10 HP. and 32 inch width.

I am in need of some diagram of how this lingake goes together.

I looked in the Tecumseh 3-11 HP L-Head repair manual but the diagrams for the Horizontal Medium frame engines does not mach up to what I got.

If anyone could provide any info. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Dimark: Have been looking at the HM 100 manual for 30 minutes and cannot tell you how the linkages fit, as there are at least 3 different Gov link (lever to throttle) 3 governor links and on governor to bell-crank link. It is according to Spec NO. as to which you would need. Can send you the 22 page Parts manual for the HM 100 plus 2 page Carb. manual for $10.00 which includes S & H. Let me know if interested....

Thanks for the offer Roeb, but I'm not sure if that's going to help me. It seems that Roper had the linkage maybe made to thier specifications. I say this because the Tecumseh manual doesnt show the arrangement I have. I know it is from factory because nothing appears to be "rigged". I was hoping someone may have info on the snowblower itself.

Thanks Anyway,
