Snowblowers

bgris44 asked:


It’s about 20-25 years old, and I last started it 4 years ago, and it worked. I replaced the spark plug, put in fresh gas, and hanged the oil. It’s a pull start, but it isn’t starting. . .Figured I’d ask before it goes to snowblower heaven.

I just bought a used Jacobsen Sno-Burst snowblower that is missing the spark plug. I’ve looked it over and can’t find a part number for the spark plug.

The engine number is 80 518830 if that helps…

Who even makes a Jacobson snow blower? I could call the dealer, but I don’t know who to even call.

i have an old TroyBuilt snowblower that seems very tempermental. it wont operate with the choke all the way off but does run fairly smooth on the second and third setting from full choke (there are 4 settings). the needle under the float bowl has to be adjusted frequently because the idle gets rough after being used for a short while.
when it’s running ok, it will almost die when put into a thick pile of snow. i have to release the auger or back it out of the snow to get the RPMs back to normal. this happens every time i hit something thicker than powder.

at first i thought it might be something that needs to be lubricated or the spark plug is to fouled to run properly. any other ideas?
(the manual doesn’t provide any help, i already checked)
