536.881850 craftsman snowthrower
After the recall on model 536.881850. Runs and dies after short time under loads. I did not buy extended warrany. Is there a fix for this? What can I do? I live in Nebraska and just got major blizzard. I need this piece of crap to work!!!

Musicman,
I had same problems last winter. This is my fifth season:
1st it ran fine, 2nd & 3rd not enough snow to tell, but I suspected problems end of 3rd.
But last season (4th) . Would run for 1/2 hour ok, then cut out and would not restart until stone cold. Carb rebuild was needed. Recall was done at same time, and probably did nothing to correct the problem.
Has run fine this season for two large storms: mid-Dec and today (Jan 3). New England. Never stalled, and would restart immediately at 1/2 choke.
