Yard King snow blower engine stalls after short use - still need help
Original Message   Dec 9, 2007 2:25 pm
I tried it with the fuel cap loosened and it still had the same result.

It runs for a while and then begins to surge and then stalls.
It will restart and then run for a while and then same thing.
It appears to be fuel starvation , but I can not figure out why







I have a yard king 8 hp snowblower that is 1 yr old.
It runs for about 2 min and then stalls is if from fuel exhaustion. Sometimes as it is quiting I can choke it and it will come back to life briefly, but not for long.
After it quits and sits a min or 2 it will start and run fine and then quit again.

Also, the primer button does not seem to ever get hard.

Any ideas???

Might be a bad fuel cap seal. Very common. Crack the fuel cap loose and try again.

Thanks for the tip, but I tried it with the fuel cap off and had the same result.

Runs for a short while and then surges and stalls .

Ideas would be appreciated--seems to be fuel starvation but will restart
