SnowBlower Repair FAQs
Self propelled snow blower will start but only runs in choke position
There are a few things that can cause this, but generally can be narrowed down to a lean mixture. To get it running properly, install a new spark plug. Next, remove the carburetor and dissasemble it. Clean the inlet needle and seat throughly, as well as the jets. Use good carb cleaner. If the machine has a fuel filter, glass bowl, or in tank screen, clean or replace them. After doing all of this, it should run fine.
