There IS NOTHING you can add to the fuel or spray in there that will FIX the problem. Sad but true.  NB |
I assume that your carburetor bowl is similar to the one below.
Turn off the gas line and do the following:
1. Remove the carburetor bowl by taking out the center high speed bowl nut.
2. Clean the end of the high speed needle that goes into the main nozzle tube.
3. If you have a compressor, blow air into the main nozzle tube.
4. Make sure that the float moves up and down freely without sticking. If it sticks, remove the float pin and disassemble it to clean the needle valve. Reassemble the float.
5. Clean the bowl to remove any sediment that might be there.
6. Put bowl back on the carburetor.
7. Drain the gas tank complete.
8. Remove the tube that comes out of the gas tank and then blow air in it to clean the line. Reassemble.
9. Get a gallon of fresh gas and put 2 oz’s of seafoam in it.
10. Fill your gas tank.
11. Start your snowblower and let in run even if you have to have the choke all the way out. Then over time slowly push the choke in until it is completely off.
12. It still might not run smoothly because the spark plug might be coated with carbon from cleaning the carburetor.
13. Remove the spark plug and clean all the carbon off and also check the gap.
14. Put the plug back in and then start the snowblower...it will run perfect.
