Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Last year I picked up a Toro 824 Powershift blower, history unknown.  When first start it, the engine hunts or surges until it gets warm then it runs fine.  Is this at all normal.  I tried adjusting the jet on the bottom of the float bowl and found that when I turn it in it will eventually start to miss so I turn it back out.  When I try and see where it will miss on the rich side nothing happens.  I can turn it out real far with no effect.    I have it set about a turn of so off of the lean side.  Any suggestions.
I am running some Sea Foam in the gas and the oil.

Hunting = engine is running lean.If only till warm up it could be a vacume leak.check the bolts holding the carborator to the engine.To find a leak you could use a small propane tourch (not lit) appling a small amount of gas to various areas,if engine picks up speed or smoothes out you have found the leak.
