Hey guys,
I have the above snowblower that we found as someone was throwing out, and have had some problems with it. I've had it for 3 years now and originally, the only thing wrong was the belt for the auger was broken. Other than that, it was ok. Last year the shear pin broke which is normal.
But the main problem I'm having with it is that when it's warm, it'll run fine. Remove the choke completely, no problems. But, then again, there's no snow at that time so that doesn't help me. When there is snow, I have to have the choke on to run it, and it won't run full out or it'll bog down. Last winter I had the great problem of it not being able to throw the snow out the chute! That was fun, not!
So, I haven't looked at it since last winter and was wondering where I should start to fix this [censored] thing! I asked a mechanic buddy at work and he said to start with the carb. After that, what else could be done? I don't think I changed the plug, but I did clean it. Do you think changing the plug will make a huge difference?
Also, this blower was made by Noma, who is out of business, and has snow trax, instead of wheels.
Thanks
