QuestionI have a John Deere 524D snowblower with a Tecumseh HSSK50-67377S engine and electric start. It initially starts but will only run for a few minutes. If I am persistent and get it to run, it lugs under load and a blue flame will come out of the exhaust.
It just installed a new carburetor, fuel lines, fuel filter and spark plug. And flushed the fuel tank.
What else could be wrong with it???

>>After Viewing a Breakdown of this Engine and From Your Description it Sounds like the Valve Clearances Require Setting, Valves Require Seating or the Ign Coil is Bad and Requires Replacing.
