Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): snowblower, internal passages, few minutes


Question
blower runs for a few minutes then dies out cleaned carb an tried adjusting it still does the same

Answer
If it only runs after you have primed it or with the choke on, the carb needs to be cleaned. This is a common problem on equipment that is dedicated seasonal. Make sure you clean the carb thoroughly, including pushing a piece of tage wire through all of the internal passages.  If this is not the problem and you are absolutely sure the carb is clean, it could be related to ignition or a burnt valve problem....but 99/100 times it is a carburetor problem.  Hope this helps.
