Snowblowers

d-man72 asked:


When I am running my snowblower it sometimes misses packed snow at the bottom or some ice spots that may have formed. Is it ok to tilt the snowblower forward to get those spots or am I going to ruin the mechanism at the bottom? Thanks.

put into choke and prime but doesn’t stay running
it suddenly stopped working while I was using it. Prime it and starts with gas that was primed then dies. Has new gas and filter this year. Used it twice already this year, and on third time made three passes down driveway and just quit working. Any new suggestions?

i have a very old Troy Built snowblower thats giving me problems. it wont stay running on its own. i opened the fuel line, put new gas and oil in messed around with the fuel mixture settings after my first attempt at starting it didnt last long. i have to use the electric starter cuz i broke the string a while back. it has 4 choke settings and i have to use the 2nd setting (the 1st being full choke) to keep it running. but it doesnt stay running, it sounds like it dies then comes back. when i get it stable, i whent and plowed some snow but when it got a little tough, it stalled on me.

any idea what could be going on? i desperately need to fix this. i have multiple 75ft driveways to take care of and i cant afford a new blower.
