...there is a fuel filter somewhere in the line and that could have water or dirt in it. There is also probably a gas shut off thingy that ya shoulda turned to the off position and then run all the gas out of the carb before ya put it away for the season. If ya didn't do that it is possibly a blockage in the carb itself. My advice on carbs is don't puts with them Ya can only make whatever the problem is worse. Remove the hose that brings the fuel to the carb and spray some carb cleaner into it. Then spray some of that magic starter fluid into it. If that don't fix it ya only has 3 options left.
!. Take it to somebody who knows how to unstop a carb.
2. Buy another one.
3. Move further south til you no longer need a snow blower.
If ya takes option number three, ya might want to read up on leaf blowers. They are a pain in the arse as well.
BTW: If ya can find a service station that has recreational fuel (fuel without ethanol) it will not
clog up as often and if ya put some Stabil
in the fuel, then turn off the fuel thingy and run the carb dry you should not have any problems with it at all.
Ethanol is the big culprit here. It is made from corn and when it sits around for awhile, it wants to turn back into sugar.
I bet you thought I was just another pretty face!
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
