Eska / Tecumseh 3.0 Mixture Knob / Lower Cowl Removal

[ckiernan001]

Hello,

I really like this site and forum. Lots of great information. I'm trying to figure out how to remove the lower cowl from what I believe is a '75 Eska / Ted Williams with a 3.0 Tecumseh engine. The engine # is AV520; 642-21. There is no Sears nameplate. I need to know how to take off the bottom cowl so I can service the carb and fabricate a fuel shutoff valve.

I'm attaching some pictures for reference. I'm new to the Forum so please let me know if you cannot open these images.

Thanks,
-Carey

I sent you a email about another manual.

4 bolts on bottom and shifter linkage will remove it

Thanks for the feedback, my browser was locking up so I didn't think it was posting. I apparently posted it 3 times. Trying to remove them now

Thanks to All for responding and for the two manuals. My Ted Williams 3.0 has a lower sheet metal cowling that the choke and mixture knobs go through. There are 4 sheet metal screws holding this cowl in place and the choke knob unscrews but I cannot get the mixture knob to budge and there is no set screw holding it on as I would have expected.

I've attached 2 more pics with the side view showing the lower sheet metal cowl hanging loose with the 4 sheet metal screws removed.

Anyone have any idea how to remove is lower cowl/ It appears that I need to remove the mixture screw knob but I'm not sure.

Thanks again!

I think it just pulls off that way when you get it adjusted just right you can push it back on or theres a tiny set screw on the side.
