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


sounds like a shear bolt sheared or a belt slipping under load


replaced all the belts and checked the pins 100 times
is the chute rusty? keep it clean and smooth and well waxed. Olso
make sure the engine is getting up to proper speed. It takes
"velocity" to get distance, and too much resistance slows it down

the chute is plastic pvc it runs well it just doesn't throw snow like it
used to

Are you sure you remember what full speed really sounds like? If it runs
full speed but won't throw snow, then it's not the engine. Also, if
something else is wrong, if it won't throw the snow because of that,
I suppose if you try to continue to jamb snow into it, then that could
bog the engine down too.

i guess you're not getting what i'm trying to describe

You've given conflicting descriptions. You said:

"the chute is plastic pvc it runs well it just doesn't throw snow like it
used to "

Then you said you're going to work on the carb. If the engine runs well,
then it's not the carb.

You said:

"it's at least 12 inches of snow and when i give it gas , it stalls in
the deep stuff"

12" isn't that much. What does it do in just 6"? If it develops full
power, doesn't bog down, but still only blows the snow a few feet, then
that suggests it's not the engine. If the thing has something else wrong
so that it can't properly blow snow, then the engine bogging down and
stalling in the deeper stuff could be secondary to the problem of it
not blowing the snow. If it can't move it, I would think it could just
bog down. Also, IDK what "giving it gas" means. A snowblower is supposed
to be run on max throttle, you set it to that and don't move it around.

i don't measure snow depth when i use it

if it's not the engine then what

the throttle is a hand squeesable lever on the handle it has no setting

do you know what a snowblower is
