Hi, all. I have a problem with my Yardman/Tecumseh snowblower stalling.
It
was run out of gas in the spring and worked ok for the first two times
this
year. Now, sometimes it will run for 20 or 30 minutes and then stall
other
times it won't even run long enough for me to get back to the handlebars.
It
always restarts if I push the primer button, but doesn't always stay
running. The gas cap was dropped and the rubber part and the foam part
came
out. (Am I missing any pieces?) I think I put it back together the right
way. (Foam on the post then covered by the rubber funnel with the wide
part
inside the cap and the narrow part facing into the gas tank). I have also
run the blower with the cap loose. There is fresh gas in the tank. When
the
blower stalls, it almost sounds as if it isn't getting enough gas. I am
not
at all familiar with engines so I don't know where to start. I don't want
to
take it apart myself, but I will if it can be fixed by a DIY.

Can anyone help??

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought it would be just looking at the url. If I
was going to go that route, I would indulge my interest in railroads and use
a rail mounted rotary snow plow. But, alas and alack and lacking a lass, I
have to stick with something that will fit in my garage along with the two
cars.

Thanks for the chuckle anyway.
