Hi all, First I want to say hi, and that this is my first post on these forums. I have been "trolling" them for awhile but now finally have reason to post here. I have just acquired a 8hp, 25" Craftsman snowblower from a friend of mine. It has been sitting for a couple of years and he said when he put it away it was not driving very well (assuming warn friction plate). I do not have an overly mechanical background, but I have done my fair share of "tinkering" with small engines so I'm not completely ignorant to fixing these things. I am planning on doing a carb clean, changing the oil, ensuring the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, changing the fuel filter and checking the condition of the friction plate rubber. (hopefully it is just a cable adjustment necessary for the drive issue). The main reason I am posting is to ask whether or not anyone could point me in the direction for parts/part numbers for this unit? I have found the manual for this rig, but it only shows how to start and function the unit and not actual parts. The model # is C950-52677 and serial # 332075(68) If any more information is necessary let me know! Thanks guys, Mike

when I checked my oil I had gasoline in my oil what's the cause for that?
