I have a Craftsman model 536.881550 snow blower (2004). Runs well for a while but then dies. Will start later after a rest and run again. Used gas line dryer in case of water in tank--no help. Could be carburetion problem. Doesn't seem to run too hot, so not overheating. Any suggestions?

See if the spark plug needs to be replaced, and after it quits, see if its flooding.

Just a couple of things that may help you narrow down the problem.

Hi,
Time frame is important. Gas cap issues surface in a few minutes. Fuel problems are a bit more variable depending on which it might be. Ignition problems surface at 20 or more minutes.
Peace,
