How to Make a Tecumseh Engine Go Faster

How to Make a Tecumseh Engine Go Faster thumbnail
Many go-carts, mini bikes and other small-engined vehicles are powered by Tecumseh engines.

A Tecumseh engine is classified as a small engine. It is an internal combustion engine that is manufactured for such things as lawn mowers, tillers, and even recreational vehicles like go-carts or mini bikes. They run on regular gasoline with octane ratings that are available at any gas pump, and use the power supplied by this fuel just like any other gasoline-powered internal combustion engine. Making a Tecumseh engine run faster is as simple as changing the octane rating of the gasoline.

Instructions

    • 1

      Acquire a can of octane booster. They are widely available in the auto section at department stores, hardware stores and automotive stores.

    • 2

      Add in the correct amount of octane booster to your Tecumseh engine gas tank. Since every octane booster is different, follow the manufacturer's instructions for how much to use per gallon.

    • 3

      Start the engine and allow it to warm up. When you begin running it under any load, the octane booster will make the regular gasoline fuel tank burn hotter and ignite quicker, which will equate to a faster running engine.
