QuestionHello,
I couldn't get my snowblower started. I have a spark, but I was playing with two set screws on carb and Ime sure I made it worse. Is there a ballpark adjustment I could start with to get it to kick over?" One screw on bottom, other on side of carb. Ariens 824 model.
Thanks
Answerscrew on bottom is main fuel. it should be below the carb. bowl. that one is as follows.>>> turn in lightly> back it out 1 1/2 turns.. one on side is air. it should be same as mixture for starters. after it is running, you may tweak air in a tad bit... main fuel should not be less then 1 1/2 turns out, and no more then 2 turns out. you will need to check for best setting after it is running.
if everything is fine with getting fuel, and carburator is working okay , no dirt, water, etc. in bowl ,etc. it will run.
