I fired it up and idles great, the auger works, drives forward/reverse but am having a little trouble when I move the throttle to FAST. I followed Toro's factory setting but as soon as I move the throttle to FAST it dies. In one of the steps it says to rotate the Idle Speed Screw until engine idles fast at 1750RPM. How am I supposed to know when 1750RPM is reached?

I guess I have to play around with it a little more...

Thanks Denis.

I still have the original sticker but it won't adhere anymore. Only if I could find some double sided tape the size of the sticker I'd be all set. Maybe a craft store would have something like that, I don't know.

I wouldn't mind getting a new one, but I don't know if Toro sells stuff like that.

I will be assembling this snowblower this week. I just have a few questions that I'm not sure about.

1.) What position should the bushing that holds the auger shaft face? Is it correct in the first image (upper arrow) or should I flip it as shown in the second image. The second image has a larger copper surface.
2.) There is a hole on the bushing flange (lower arrow). What position should this face and what is this used for?

It would help if someone an assembly manual. But I don't think it's possible to get one.

3.) On the auger drive wheel (yellow arrow) there are locking bolts. What side should these bolts be on?

Thanks... The shaft came out pretty easy. So far everything has been going good. I'm installing stainless steel nuts and bolts on most of the machine. Some of the bolts with the same head are hard to find in stainless but  as long as the thread is the same I'll be happy.

I assume the rakes are on either side of the auger? If so, yes I did manage to take them off. I was sanding them today.

I'll have more pics by the weekend.
