    If you have not changed any of the mixture screw settings then I'd say you need to drop the bowl of the barb, clean it and the needle valve and seat.

    Try MTD Products Landing Page (model and serial required)

    Parts & Accessories | Shop & Find Lawn & Garden, Appliance Parts at Sears PartsDirect | SearsPartsDirect.com (model #)

    Home - Briggs & Stratton (Engine # and type code which is STAMPED on the blower housing. Difficult to see.

    It's best to use small engine 4-cycle oil, otherwise 30 wt
    Non-detergent oil.

    Use at least the mid-grade gas and use a fuel stabilizer like Sta-bil.
