Hi guys.
I went to start my churches' snowblower and it wouldn't start by hand. I forgot that it had a fuel shutoff.
It did start with an extension cord, but the rpm's surged up and down.
I took it home and cleaned the carburetor and I thought that might help but it that didn't help at all.
It is a Tecumseh 8.5 hp 4 stroke. The carb is part 640349. It does have pilot jet or something with a plastic cover.
When I screwed it back in I wasn't sure if it was to go in all the way or turned out a little.
It set all year with old gas in it. I drained it and put a little seafoam in the tank
Does anyone know a cure for this problem ?
Thanks
Jerry
