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 I've owned 5 or 6 - only one was a single stage - and I've likely worked on over 100 - and I've never seen a "squeezable handle" throttle. They have all been governed engines and the only "adjusting" of the throttle is to limit how far the snow flies - if you adjust it at all. Wide open throttle is "normal" +1 And he says it has an auger and impeller, which makes it two stage. i already said it was a two stage when you asked the first time And that two stage that you posted the picture of DOES NOT HAVE A SQUEEZABLE THROTTLE ON THE HANDLES. Capiche? The throttle is at the carb and like Clare said, you set it to max when using it to blow snow. Good grief, you're confused. if you want to think that , go ahead , think it , but if you ever have an answer for my original question , i'd love to read it I'm beginning to think you're just a troll. How can anyone answer your question, when you don't even know how the snowblower works? You claim the throttle is on the handles and it's squeezable. It's not. So, for all we know, you have the throttle, which is at the carb, set to idle or slow and that's why it will only blow snow a few feet. RTFM. Better still, pay someone to clear your snow. i already thanks those with ideas that helped me , this was over as far as i was concerned , then you showed up hoping you had found , someone you could insult and **** off and , when that didn't work you got really ****ed off , if that makes me a troll well it's just another , name for a part you got wrong Heh asshole, I was one of the first people here who tried to help you. You're an idiot who doesn't understand what a throttle is and now you're giving us attitude? You claim the throttle is on the handlebars and you squeeze it. ROFL. RTFM or better yet, hire someone to clear your driveway before you hurt yourself. I wouldn't be surprised if your only problem is that the throttle is set at slow and you don't know WTF you're doing. |

Wide open throttle is "normal" On a single stage "snow thrower" or "power shovel" - usually with 2 stroke engines, a hand throttle is more common.

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 I've owned 5 or 6 - only one was a single stage - and I've likely worked on over 100 - and I've never seen a "squeezable handle" throttle. They have all been governed engines and the only "adjusting" of the throttle is to limit how far the snow flies - if you adjust it at all. Wide open throttle is "normal" +1 And he says it has an auger and impeller, which makes it two stage. i already said it was a two stage when you asked the first time And that two stage that you posted the picture of DOES NOT HAVE A SQUEEZABLE THROTTLE ON THE HANDLES. Capiche? The throttle is at the carb and like Clare said, you set it to max when using it to blow snow. Good grief, you're confused. if you want to think that , go ahead , think it , but if you ever have an answer for my original question , i'd love to read it I'm beginning to think you're just a troll. How can anyone answer your question, when you don't even know how the snowblower works? You claim the throttle is on the handles and it's squeezable. It's not. So, for all we know, you have the throttle, which is at the carb, set to idle or slow and that's why it will only blow snow a few feet. RTFM.

WHY DOESN'T MY SNOWBLOWER BLOW SNOW
to the OP your problem is one of these areas the engine is turning too slowly due to ? or the impeller is turning too slowly due to a slipping belt or the chute is not smooth or somehow degraded or the augers are not turning correctly, this usually caused by a broken shear pin Step 1 is to determine which of these categories covers your issue. mark |

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 I've owned 5 or 6 - only one was a single stage - and I've likely worked on over 100 - and I've never seen a "squeezable handle" throttle. They have all been governed engines and the only "adjusting" of the throttle is to limit how far the snow flies - if you adjust it at all. Wide open throttle is "normal" On a single stage "snow thrower" or "power shovel" - usually with 2 stroke engines, a hand throttle is more common. A 4 stroke governed engine runs at a fixed speed of aprox 3600 RPM and when the engine is loaded the governor opens the throttle plate to maintain the speed. If the speed drops you are over-feeding the snow so you release the drive clutch and/or select a lower gear. My current unit is a hydrostatic Yamaha - and I'll never willingly go back to a multi-speed friction drive unit again. The jury is still out on the track-drive. A differential driven wheel drive is easier to handle and what little experience I've had with the "power steer" units has been positive.

The two controls on the handle are the wheel drive clutch and the auger clutch. The black "pistol grip" handle low on the handle is the shift lever. The green crank handle is to rotate the chute. The rubber "bulb" on the back of the engine is the primer. The chute on thhat blower is steel - not plastic. It looks like it has been recently painted, and if not smooth will affect the distance it throws snow. Wait until he sticks his hand in to clear the chute and the shrimps come flying out. How do you calculate where the shrimps land so you know where to look? Following the blood is not always reliable... -- Tekkie |

They have all been governed engines and the only "adjusting" of the throttle is to limit how far the snow flies - if you adjust it at all. Wide open throttle is "normal" On a single stage "snow thrower" or "power shovel" - usually with 2 stroke engines, a hand throttle is more common. A 4 stroke governed engine runs at a fixed speed of aprox 3600 RPM and when the engine is loaded the governor opens the throttle plate to maintain the speed. If the speed drops you are over-feeding the snow so you release the drive clutch and/or select a lower gear. My current unit is a hydrostatic Yamaha - and I'll never willingly go back to a multi-speed friction drive unit again. The jury is still out on the track-drive. A differential driven wheel drive is easier to handle and what little experience I've had with the "power steer" units has been positive. The track drive DOES have superior traction without the hassle of chains. i'm attaching a web site that will , show you a photo of what my snowblower looks like , see those little orange levers one is the throttle , one is for the auger and just let me add , i've already thanked everyone for all their help here . i posted a thank you yesterday then i moved on to other things , but in revisiting the topic let me say , you have been no help what so ever https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/u...267031_614.jpg The throttle is on the engine - well out of reach when operating the blower. The two controls on the handle are the wheel drive clutch and the auger clutch. The black "pistol grip" handle low on the handle is the shift lever. The green crank handle is to rotate the chute. The rubber "bulb" on the back of the engine is the primer. The chute on thhat blower is steel - not plastic. It looks like it has been recently painted, and if not smooth will affect the distance it throws snow. the photo is a sample it's not my snowblower just looks like mine , i know nothing about the one in the photo , it was the first one i saw in a google search So what make and model? or is it a Trump Snowflake blower. the same as the one in the photo Which does NOT have a plastic chute, or a handlebar mounted throttle. For all know you are a flake in Florida who's never seen a snowblower just crawled out from under your bridge. Snow or dandruff? cocaine |
