Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): craftsman snow blower, craftsman snow thrower, valve model


Question
Where is the carburetor on my craftsman snow thrower model number 536.881951?  It is a 9.5 horsepower electric start 29" dual stage snow thrower.  It will not turn over.  I got rid of the old gas and put in new gas.  My friend told me to spray the carburetor with starter fluid.  I am a rookie.  Where is the carburetor? What does it look like?  How do I get to it?  Please respond with pictures.

see page 36  for model 20a114-0363-e1  brigs 120 volt starter

see page 52 for model 20c214-0530-e1  briggs ohv


with side valve model pge 36  carb is under the tank and infront of air filter

with ohv on page 52  carb is in front of air filter and attached to cylinder head opposite to muffler , tank will be on the very top  

almost sounds like it may have siezed  , check oil level  ?
