look at for this problem?


All snowblowers are aircooled. Your solution, warming it inside for
an instant start, is what I did too during the recent cold snap (-20
to -30 deg C) accompanied by continuous snow. The only other thing to
do is to change the spark plug, and in summer, give the carburetor a
good cleaning. Stick with the recommended gas-lube mix. Too much lube
fouls the spark plug.
