OT: Repairing Sears Snow Blower (Tecumseh)

LS · 2003-11-21T03:09:01+00:00

I have a Snowblower a friend gave me.It's carb was gummed up and needed some cleaning. I took the carb off andcleaned out the bowl and checked the float and it works. The fuel lines arenew and filter replaced. It has a new plug and the plug IS sparking.When I push the primer it drips fuel on the ground. Is this the overflow ofthe bowl? when I try to start it, it will backfire and do nothing.It has a lever that adjusts the choke. It looks like something should boltwhere the flap of the choke is, like a air cleaner or something. If you goto the Sear website and look at the diagram of the motor, it does not showone.What do I need to do to get this thing to start? Got 6 inches of snowcoming this weekend. :)Lannie

If you really want it to remove the snow. Then just add NOS, it's the best thing I ever did. It won't ever get plugged up with snow again either. Remove NoSpam to reply, Thanks

I have custom made skids on this beast. After 17 years in service, the originals had worn clean through. So I made some up out of 1/2" x 1

1/2" x 8' cold-rolled steel, and some 3/8" x 4" x 8' cold-roll. Welded it up into some nice lookin skis, and then used 1/8" 6011 to pad the bottom.

Had to replace the ogger gear box once.... they weren't brass though.
