    Had the snowblower tuned up at the end of last season. New gas installed. Snowblower engine seems to lose rpm when the augur is engaged. The engines stalls under load??

    Fuel valve is sticking. Use some seafoam carb cleaner and a small amount of gas. Run it through.

    Otherwise it's take apart the carb and clean.

    Comes from storing blower with gas in the bowl/tank and not using fuel stabilizer.

    H,
    I bow to those who may actually use these things, but if the carb does not seem to correct it; look to bad bearings causing a parasistic load.

    FYI: There is no air cleaner element on a snow blower.
