Snow blowers do not have air filters, the snow gets through to the filter and melts then when the engine is shutoff it re-freezes and blocks the air flow. Have a good one. Geo

The usual problem is a clogged carburetor.

Just got done removing carb- sprayed it all over inside,and out, with carb cleaner.It will run when you put a baster full of gasoline in the cylinder. Stops dead then. And nothin starts it, til i put more gas in the cylinder.The bottom bowl adjustment is 1-1/2 turns out and Air is the same 1-1/2 turns out. Its got fire. Carb was cleaned --out and went back together like it was supposed too? Choke on. It still won't fire any more tips.PLease! i need them thanks again bob s

ps;Is the adjusting screw on the bottom about right?????

The bowl nut has a tiny hole neat the top that gets clogged I use the wire from a twist tie to clean it, make sure it is clean as well as the one across the bottomm and down the center. Have a good one. Geo

I had the same problem with the 8hp tecumseh in my 1970s Ariens. $12 replacement carb from eBay fixed it. No adjustments needed, just bolted it on and put the blower back to work.
