It does have the adjusting screw on the bottom of the carb. will mess with this over the next couple days as well.
Not to question your competency or intelligence, but it isn't the "screw" on the bottom of the carb bowl that's used to drain fuel, right?
I likely have the same snow thrower as you do (mine is 17 years old) and I just went through a complete rebuild this past summer. I'd look at the governor too just to make sure it is linked up correctly.
No some older machines have a power adjusting screw on the bottom of the float bowl uasually bogging under load can be fixed by adjusting the screw. You are correct most new blowers have the drain fixed to the float bowl .
Correct, mine has the float adjustment screw and the fuel drain also. made some adjustments today and will have to wait until Friday to test it under load of throwing snow to see if it still bogs down.
