Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Snow Blower, rod bearings, snow blower


Question
I have a Tecumseh snow blower Engine model # TH098SA

I can get the engine started but once a put a load on it the engine shuts off.
I put new gas and ran it for awhile but I still have the same results.
Is there any where I could find information on this problem.
Thank you for your time Renard

Answer
If it sputters and dies you probable have debris in the carb in one of the air or fuel passages. Clean with a wire from a twist tie and blow out with carb cleaner or compressed air.  If it binds up and dies I think it is internal, crankshaft or rod bearings.
