THANKS for the reply trouts2.
I decided to try and change the spark plug. I hadn't when I brougt it home like I did with the oil.
I had pulled it out to check if it was getting spark when it wouldn't start. So, I thought it may fail
after running a bit and take that out of the equation. I got on about an hour ago and put it in and
it started right up. I ran it about twenty minutes with out any problems - both idling and at maxed out.
It ran fine. I shut it off a couple of times to see if it would start and it did with out any
problems. I came in and let it cool a bit and to see if there would be any issues when I went out to try to
start it again. It would not start with the choke off, only when it was on. It started for about twenty seconds
and would not start again. Did not even sound like it wanted too!. ( I did not primer it ). I took out the
plug to see what it looked like and it looked fine. Checked for spark and had it. Just for $#%*s and gigles
I put the old plug in and it started but soon stalled out again. Almost like someone was flipping a switch.
I don't understand why it would run fine and then all of a sudden not!!!! I could see it at first it ran for a short
period and then shut down, but 20 minutes?!?!?!?!? If it was a fuel/ float problem wouldn't it always be and issue????
Could it be that something gets hot and causes it too not run.......just asking because it does not make any
sense to me at all!! I didn't take off the carb yet and fool with the float. I guess that is my next step.
Would love some feedback.
........do you think I have a female snowblower??????????? .........just asking! LOL
