SOURCE: 5 HP troy bilt chipper sherdder will not rev up under load

Either or do one of two things if the motor runs pretty well Start the engine and run it full throttle. Once there if it has a high speed jet turn the screw in to start with until the engine stumbles a bit and then turn it back about a half turn. When you turn it in you should here the engine peak out. .If it is blowing black smoke out the exhaust it means the high speed screw is to far out so turn it in until it smooths out.If the engine smooths out then you have cured the problem. Good luck.

In order to start it with an electric cord you must have a feature called an electric starter. If you dont have the electric starter on your machine now, one can be added at a dealership

SOURCE: How do I clean the fuel line on troy bilt 5hp chipper vac?

unscrew the nut on the bottom of the carburetor and remove the float bowl it must be emptied and cleaned , debree and water gets into the bowl and blocks of fuel flow reinstall the bowl and start, some carbs don't have a float bowl requiring you to remove the gas tank and carb which is a more involved cleaning.

I really hate to be the "bearer of bad tidings" but Troy Bilt, as a company, in no longer in business, MTD bought out the name and design rights for a lot of their tools but they are not manufacturing or stocking any parts for the older GardenWay/ Troy-Bilt machinees. My best suggestion would be tostart looking for a good used one or one with a blown engine, broken frame or whatever, buy it and canibalize it for spare parts

Straight 30w NOT 10w-30

prefer air-cooled engine oil from mower dealers or some auto supply stores have air cooled engine oil.

Need to find correct spark plug for Troy-Bilt #42027 Snow Thrower.

Several engines were available, you need to look for the number on your current plug - easiest method.

otherwise, you will need to give the motor manufacturer and nameplate info (Tecumseh SnowKing 8HP?)

Craftsman 32" 10 hp

3600+/- 20rpm. That's the top end, I'd say idle should be between 1200 and 1500, but I don't know what model motor it is. I'm assuming its a Tecumseh snow king engine

I have a tecumseh 7 horse (Snow King) motor that has a blown head gasket. Model number is HSK 70. Where do I find a part number to order replacement gasket?

That does not sound like a complete Tecumseh model number.
You have several options... Your first and probably best option would be your local small engine repair shop. They may even have the parts in stock, if not in stock will likely have it in a few days. Or you can look online at places like outdoordistributors.
No matter where you get the part from you will need a complete model and spec and maybe a serial number ( off of the motor itself). Also be aware that since Tecumseh went out of business a few years ago that certain parts are becoming increasingly hard to find.

Oil blows out of tube

You either have a head gasket going bad or your piston rings are shot which causes air to go down into the crankcase building up pressure which exits through the breather tube.
