    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.
