Snowblower help

[snowjoker]

My uncle is lookin for a flywheel for his JD i think snowblower. Tecumseh engine HM801555013E Ser. 8118C and part # 610847 dealer said part was not available but im sure something can be found..

Just checked all my distributors. All say N/A. What is wrong with current part? If it's broken you may want to try local dealers for a used piece of equipment with same motor.

Magnets broke off the flywheel, cannot be glued back on, shop tried that...

[motormouse]

Magnets are for alt or a light. If he doesn't need a light just knock them all off and use it. MAKE SURE YOU KNOCK ALL MAGNETS OFF OR IT WILL BE WAY OUT OF BALANCE.

The magnets are for timing the machine...It has no light or alt... It will not fire, the shop tried fixing it.

Walt, I had a blower here that drove me nuts. Had an HM80 on it. Magnets / coil under the flywheel. It also had the posts on the block for an external coil. Don't see why you can't get a flywheel with the external magnets and go to solid state ignition while you're at it.

You can also watch eBay. I was looking for parts for the HM80 and there were quite a bit there.

I got parts from www.jackssmallengines.com too.

My bad, wasn't thinking that old. Like Chuck said if you have posts for external coil you could try to find another flywheel. Problem being no one usually stocks flywheels to try. Tough one there. Hopefully you can find a blown motor of same model. Sorry for the confusion i never looked up engine specs just part #.
