Hello, all!
I have a Craftsman 6.75HP mower model 917.377690 with a Tecumseh engine on it. The Craftsman (?) number for the engine is 143.006706. I had to replace the mounting flange gasket because it finally failed and was causing the engine oil to spray everywhere. Cleaned everything up, bought a new gasket, and started to put everything back together. I "star-torqued" (torque it until you see stars) the bolts that attach the oil sump to the crankcase, and I snapped one off. So, my torque is a little excessive for this application. Anyone know what the correct value is, or where I can access it?
Thanks!
