Can you help me, to Connect it all back together. 1).What Position should the Gov Shaft Hook End..be in(facing the Inside of the Crank Case.Carb direction).or Upwards.(direction of the engine top. OR. towards the Rear of the CrankCase/Block.. It is a Horizontal Engine.(S/Plug at the Front). and where do the two Links Connect to on the Dellortto FHC20 13 Carb….I have the Old Links. that were already removed. so I purchased the New Parts from the USA. for what size they are. they were cheap..but the Postage was very expensive… so are there any kind persons out there, who have the knowledge, to assist me. with Written Instrutions, and/or some detailed drawings and photos….Please.

Be a little careful in your description of your engine as vertical and horizontal usually refers to the crank, not the cylinder and all the data pages in the Tecumseh manuals follow that convention. The Tecumseh on a Bug will probably be a vertical shaft, V60 or V70 etc. It’s a long time since I’ve seen a Tecumseh on a Bug and I don’t recollect seeing a Dellorto carb on one . Is it possible that your example is dismantled because someone was doing a carb swap? Alternatively I’m totally out of touch and talking nonsense . If you can confirm that it is a V60, I can possibly come up with the relevant pages from the workshop manual.

I’ve had a look at the Tecumseh workshop manual and although it’s got several illustrations for for what they refer to as small and medium frame engines ( less than 8hp) , nothing specifically for a V60 and only for Tillotson and Tecumseh carbs. Perhaps Dellorto carbs were a later fitment ? When you ordered the components from the US, what was your source of information for specifying them and are you able to post the illustrations that you used ? Also it would be helpful if you can post images of your carburettor and linkage set up.

Edit. Just read one of your original posts and see that you are at Dymchurch – I’m at Appledore, so a viewing could be a possibility !
