Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): snow blower, overhead valve engines, briggs and stratton


Question
I have an 8 25 brute snow blower that doesn't throw snow very far.
I have replaced the impeller belt with no difference in throwing of snow. The engine is running great
I can only give you the SER# 3880268 its the only thing legable

Answer
Hello Larry:

>>Brute is a Briggs and Stratton Brand.
>>If the Engine is Turning the Proper Full Throttle RPMs and the Belts are Good, then this Unit should Throw Snow Approximately 10 to 20 Feet.
>>I Suggest you Check the Engines RPMs and make Sure the RPMs are Correct.
>>Is there a Blockage in the Chute?
Send me the Model and Type or Spec Numbers Off the Unit, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. The Model Numbers May be Stamped Into the Blower Housing (metal engine cover) Above the Spark Plug. Many horizontal shaft, overhead valve engines have these numbers stamped into the OHV rocker cover. However, on certain overhead valve powered generators, the equipment manufacturer installs a decorative chrome rocker cover OVER the Briggs cover. If your engine has a decorative cover, it may be necessary to remove it in order to locate the Model, Type, and Code. You can Also Use this Site Addy; http://www.briggsandstratton.com/maint_repair/BS_modeltypecode.pdf for Assistance in Locating the Model, Type and Code Numbers of the Engine. Thanks.
