Question
Hi , I have to run my snow blower on full choke or it stalls (8hp tecumsa). Should I replace Carb? THX
Hello Steve:
Is the Gas Free Flowing to the Carburator? If yes, Then Clean and Rebuild the Carburator or Replace it if you wish. If you decide you want to Attempt the Rebuild, Send me the Model Numbers Off of the Engine, Please. With these Numbers I can Locate a Breakdown/IPL for you to View Online. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Thanks.
Good Luck
Respectfully
John
