I am having a problem with my Craftsman snowblower. The chute angle lever
does not seem to be working. When I move the lever up, the chute angle does
not change. It should increase the angle upward. When I move the lever
down, about half way down I will feel some tension, as normal, and then the
chute will move downward as expected. Once, I move the lever up again,
there is no tension and the chute will not move. I have to manualy move the
chute upward, and I cannot always get it all the way up. This makes it so
that I cannot throw snow as far as I need to. Has anyone expericenced a
similar issue with Craftsman snowblowers? Is the chute angle lever prone to
this type of problem?

Thanks
Chuck

I'd say its just the cable that is disconected. just like bicycle hand
brakes.
