Hi gabbie & welcome.  There are a few mechanically minded folks on the forum who should be able to help.  I am incompetent & simply wanted to say hello.  :wink:

Google turned this up ... perhaps your engine model is listed?

any old unleaded fuel will do, and the tecumseh uses SAE30 oil in its oil sump. you can use 20W50 at a pinch. the most important thing with any tecumseh engine is NEVER let it run low on oil (they self destruct if you do)
have fun with it!

Thanks for the advice. I used the rotavator yesterday and it works well. I would recommend the Al Ko farmer.
