Need Help on a 3.6 hp Chrysler!!!

[swellcat]

Hi, first of all I must apologize becasue I am very new to this. I am trying to restart my grandpa's old chrysler motor. It is a 3.6 hp Model #-32HA Serial #-7549. I don't know anything about the year. I believe i should use 24:1 mix ratio. What kind of oil do I mix with? If anyone knows what the 2 knobs on the front are for let me know. One has a C on it and I am assuming it is the choke. But the other has a F on it and I dont have a clue. I haven't even put fuel in it yet becasue I dont want to screw anything up, but I need to try and get it working for a trip tomorrow so any advice would be great! Thanks in advance, Garrett.<br />garrettcrane@hotmail.com

Look at it real close. The knob with the F may be fuel mixture. A lot of the old small motors had this. My grandfather had a 7 hp Elgin that had a mixture screw on the front cover like that.

Hi Swellcat<br />Your motor was made in 1970. You should be able to find an after market Chrysler manual that covers this model. Taking a trip tomorrow with a motor that you are unfamiliar with may be a little risky. If this is the single cyl air cooled model then 24:1 mix would be good, use the same type two-stroke oil as for motor cycles and chain saws. if it is a water cooled motor use tcw3 rated oil. I would still mix it 24:1. The controls usually include a throtle speed control, fuel shut off (petcock), choke,low-speed needle, and sometimes a high-speed needle.

Could you tell us the model number of the Tillotson carb. Is it a MD124A by any chance?

Hey thanks guys! How do I know if it is air or water cooled?

Also will it matter if I use tcw3 oil in an air cooled model?
