it used to toss snow 20 or 30 feet ,
now it's maybe 5 feet , the auger turns ,
the impaler goes but still it doesn't blow snow
Is there sufficient snow available and being fed in?Â* If there is only
a couple inches and the machine is moving slowly, snow won't get
thrown
very far because there isn't enough volume to propel it.Â* With mine
if I try to do just a couple inches at low forward speed, the snow
just dribbles out the chute or goes a few feet.
it's at least 12 inches of snow and when i give it gas , it stalls in
the deep stuff
But at full speed, if you go slow, it stays at full speed, but only
blows it a few feet?Â* I presume it's not real heavy, wet snow either?
no , it's dry fluffy snow and yes what you said is what it does ,
and if i gear up to 3 or 4 when i get into the snow , it stalls ,
i have to be ready for the stall and stop and just let it idle ,
and it catches up with itself again
Normally that means its not getting enough fuel.
yea , i think i'm in for a lesson in carburetors
You can buy a carb rebuild kit for most common carbs on Ebay for
a few bucks. It includes new float valve, needle valves, gasket,
welch plugs, etc. If you need a gasket between the carb and intake
that is usually separate. Taking it apart, cleaning it with carb
cleaner isn't hard. Having an air compressor helps.
