Default Snow Blower not working FTMFL! I hate snow blowers!!!

I have only used this thing a handful of times since I got it three or four years ago. About a month ago I got it out of the shed and get her ready for that snow storm they said we were gonna get but never did. I even let it run for about a half hour or so. At first it tood a couple of tries to work but it did work and idled for a bit.

Well today, not thinking I would have any problems since I just had her running recently, she would not work. At first I got it running then it would just cut out after several seconds. Then eventually nothing, I left it for an hour thinking I flooded it but even then nothing.

I don't really have anything against shoveling, but since I have the damn thing why not use it. Yeah, if it would work. So pissed I couldn't use it today.

That's why I was happy there was enough snow to finally get mine to be used.

Default you need to make sure no gas is in the lines/left in the engine...the best thing to do

is to drain the gas completely and take the plug out and remove the filter because those areas get laced with **** as it sits

Default yeah, I have that. weird thing is that I ran the snow blower to near empty a month ago

yeah at first it took a couple times to start, but it did start and ran straight for at least a half an hour and I think I ran the tank out.

put new gas into it but it just would not stay on, then eventually wouldn't even start.
