Ok I swapped carb No Change with the other carb. I removed the top of the snowblower and watched as the engine ran or should I say surging. I noticed at the base of the muffler droplets of oil residue blowing out at the base of the muffler indicating a blown muffler gasket. I did not have a gasket so I used JB Weld as a sealer once it sets over-night I will give it a try. Any other thoughts.

Just a guess at this point, The enige is running lean (surging).... If the carb is clean, you may have a case leak or a bad seal around the crank... Start looking for bubbles (very small) around seals and gaskets while the engine is running... if you son't see any, try spraying a mild dish soap solutionaround the seals and gaskets before the engine gets too hot... The bubbles may appear small, but you are only seeing bubbles when it makes bubbles.. Friiy

Friiy That was the 1st thing I tried to look for I could not find any leaks I thought I did find an oily gue spraying on the side of the block I traced that gue comming from the base of the muffeler. I test the engine agine it seems to run nice. I am waiting for snow and then I can test it properly.
