I inherited an old snowthrower from my dad.
It is an ariens model 924044. He dates it back in the late 70's or early 80's. I have been able to find some parts for the 10HP Techumsa motor, but am now having fuel issues. It will idle just fine, and run all day long. but as soon as i get a load of snow in the chute, it bogs down badly.
I am used to working on jeep carbs, but never a snowblower carb. I recently put a carb rebuild through it, but cannot figure out how to properly adjust the carb so it does not bogg down under a load.
Also there is a set of 3 wires (red/green/black) comming from the motor into a black plug, we suspected it was for a elec. start, but i recently purchased one, and did not use this plug. I am wondering if it is possible to power a light/headlights from this plug. I cannot find any info on techumsa's website on this engine breakdown that has these wires in the pic.
Thanks for the help
Jon
