Hello all,

I just had a JD 826 given to me. I rebuikt the carb and changed the fuel lines. It started and ran for a little while. While it was idling the auger would turn slowley. When I went to engage the auger the motor would die. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Steve

   what style carb do you have on it???  the old style with idle and high speed mixture screws???  if so make sure the high speed nut is backed out  1 1/2 - 2 turns.  when you buy a factory rebuild kit,  the are screwed closed.  ive done this mistake before.

are u lifting the rpm up before engaging the auger?

what engine is on it tecumsech?
