Stuck? you mean if you try to use the pull starter the engine will not let you pull the cord out? Will it not start OR is the engine frozen. help us with your description Take the Spark Plug out and see if that helps it turn over. Maybe the float in the Carburetor is stuck open and the cylinder filled with gas Causing Hydrolock.
Leaks are normally from bad seals or ones put on engine wrong. Many snow blowers leak oil, very common. Electric start needs to be taken apart. Rust is problem most likely. When you engage the starter it kicks out the gear to turn over engine. Carefully remove the starter from engine, try to start starter an if the pinion gear does not kick out from starter disassembly it an try to clean rust away from action. Dont break wires around electric motor careful about getting dirt an rust in winding. Try to lube spring an moving parts around gear. One other thing it could be a sheared off gear on starter also.
Had the same issue and found out that the wheels lock when the motor isn't running and the accelerator handle is engaged. I still had both handles tied down from transporting home and it rolled fine after they were untied. Hope that helps
It is very possible that improper storage has left residue in your fuel system causing restriction of fuel supply. answer these questions and get a better answer. 1. Do you have to use partial choke or have to continually prime your engine to keep it running. 2. Look for physical damage to shutdown switch button or key switch wire. If this wire comes in contact with any metal surface other than its intended contact, usually near the engine. 3. Finally use an additive in your fuel system that attacks varnish such as carb and choke cleaner. In many severe cases your fuel system may need to be serviced by a professional familiar with the teardown and inspection of the fuel system. Good start though by changing your plug and fuel line antifreeze. As far as fuel stabilizers go I have been told but am still a novice when it comes to fuels that contain ethanol as I have heard that they may not have a very long shelf life. A few tips from an old ag. tech. Gods Speed to you! P.S. If this is a 2 cycle engine their are other things to consider.
Hi
Most common problem with snowblowers is clogged carb. Remove spark plug and put a tea spoon full of gas in the plug hole and try to start. If it starts for a sec that is your problem. To get a manual go to searspartsdirect.com you will need the model number to find the correct manual. Model number should start with 917.XXXXXXX.
Sam
have you tried a new spark plug???? try new sparkplug there may be a spark on the old one but it may not be strong enought, if that dont work you know its petrol problem!
I think that you can buy another car for what it would take to do that conversion.
Lets' see off the top of my head.
carburator
manifold
new heads to accept spark plugs?
new body control module
new engine control module
then keep in mind that even with all the above it still might not work because you may need proprietary parts only made for a gas engine, and you have a diesel. An engine swap may be doable but I ahve never heard of it working out in the end.
