Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Tecumseh HMSK85, friction wheel, water remover
QuestionI am having trbl starting my snowblower..I put it to full throttle like it says in Manual that came with it. The muffler sends out black smoke and backfires. I let it idle for a few minutes and the smoke goes away..I throttle back to keep it going the as soon as I put it full again it dies. I have changed the gas..oil and added gas Line Anti-freeze and water remover. Can you help. It was bought at Walmart at in 2002-2003 and I have had the friction wheel replaced
AnswerThis the most common problem we get with snowblowers.
Have you removed, dis-assembled and cleaned the carb with compressed air from an air compressor?
Sometimes we have to clean the carbs a couple of times to get them to work correctly.
Let me know.
