My snowblower won't stay started. It will start but then dies
Do you use the primer bulb when starting it?
Are you choking the engine and leaving the choke on until the engine starts to warm up? Also, please answer KISS question.
I use the prime bulb to get it started and to keep it running. The choke is out when I start it. But when it would run and it was warm when I pushed it in, it would quit. Now it won't stay started. Except if I keep pushing the prime bulb.
Your carb needs cleaning.
Exactly. Your not using a fuel stabilizer and the fuel valve is stuck. The carb has to be taken apart and cleaned.
I dropped the bowl on my snowblower carb yesterday when it started running rough and erratic. Got enough junk out of that bowl to fill a spoon. After reassembly it started on the first pull. While you have the bowl off check the float and needle for proper opening/closing. Some times just checking the bolw flushes it.
