Default Key shut off won't work on snow thrower,need help.

Where do I find the float? I am just a user and know nothing
mechanical.

Thanks



Now the carb problem.... You might have an issue where there
is a little dirt in the needle valve. If the carb hasnt been cleaned
in
years I would bet that's the problem. I'd try cleaning it out with a
little
carb cleaner. Otherwise a small carb rebuild wouldnt hurt either.
(basically clean it out and replace all the old gaskets)
I would also check the float and make sure its not filled with gas.
Sometimes they fail from a pinhole leak and the float doesnt work
the way its suppose to anymore.
