Hi,
Sounds like something is not coming up to speed. The manual covers adjustment, etc. at:

Hi,
Does the engine slow significantly when the auger is engaged? That would point to a carb problem.

Hi,
Did you use the original equipment belts? One of them is a custom size.

PS Anytime you opt for a non-OEM replacement, it is wise to ask for a Kevlar belt.
