Still a good point of beginning.

It probably wouldn't hurt to run injector cleaner with the gas if
you can get it running. It is usually best to remove and clean
the carburetor, replace the spark plug, reset the magneto but
these may be deeper than you want to go.

I have a 10 year old snow thrower that uses the Tecumseh Snow
King series
engine. Having difficulty getting it to run smoothly.

Wish to start by ensuring the mixture screws are set properly.
Old rule
of thumb used to be close all the way then back of one and a
half turns.
Is that still true with the Snow King engines?
