Toro Snowthrower Engine Issues

[Kennykenny]

I have a Toro Snowthrower 38518. This winter while using the thrower, the unit worked fine to be able to clear a three-car driveway. I would then shut the unit off and then attempt to restart and do other driveways. When doing this, I would have a difficult time restarting it or if I did get it to start, it would soon die and once again restarting was very difficult. I changed the spark plug 4-5 seasons ago and upon checking it, it still looked good. Suggestions for other things to check to fix this issue? Tuneup items? Thank you.

Did you apply any choke or primer when trying to restart? I have seen issues when people use choke / prime on a warm engine and it floods it. To be clear - I would always try to restart a warm engine with NO choke / prime.
