Very Frustrating Carburetor Problem
Original Message   Jan 26, 2011 8:36 am

I have an 8/25 Toro older snowblower. The snow blower was left un-used for a few years with gas in the tank. The gas was orange and it stunk like rotten eggs. I flushed the gas tank and fuel hose, cleaned the carb. 2 or 3 times everything works as it should. The engine starts 1st pull it will only run with the choke on.  I tried adjusting the jet at the bottom of the bowl that does not have any affected. Any ideas?

Now tell us how you really feel about additives Trouts.   I totally agree with you.

What's SFD?    Snake-oil for Fools Disorder?
