How fo i keep my toro snow blower from bogging down?
My Toro snowblower model 2450 Starts fine but after 10 min of plowing snow it bogs down. I changed the spark plug and has fresh gas. Any ideas on how to keep this thing running longer than 10 min?

When you put it away at the end of last snow season, I expect you just rolled it to the corner of the garage and left it until now? The two stroke gas in the carburetor, went bad and gummy. It starts on starter fluid because no gas is coming from the carb.
My blower runs fine and has no problem all I do is keep it nice and clean after use and oil the running parts after the season when I dont use it I am very happy with it.
If you're Toro electric blower is slowing down, throwing sparks, overheating or not starting you may need to replace the carbon brushes. Replacing brushes and cleaning commutator early can prevent damage to motor armature!
There are Electric Motor replacement carbon brushes on E-bay for all three motor sizes (7 AMP, 10.5 AMP, and 12 AMP) of Toro Leaf Blowers (Toro Rake and Vac Super and Ultra Blower and "850" Vacuums)
Search E-bay for: "Toro Blower Carbon Brush"
- 12 Amp leaf blowers Toro Super (Old model 51552) through Toro Ultra (New model 51609).
- Toro 850 Super Blower Shredder-Vac 12 Amp (model 51575).
- 10.5 Amp leaf blowers Toro Old through Toro New model 51573.
- 7 Amp leaf blowers Toro model 51586 and other Toro 7 amp blowers.
Could be stuff inside the float bowl holding the float OPEN and flooding it. That IS a weird symptom. Possible coil failure.Is there spark after it dies? Will it re-start? Was the spark plug wet with fuel?
If you haven't already, dump out gas and put fresh in it and try this, if it doesn't work you will have to clean the carb, take it apart and clean all jets ports etc and put back together and you should be Good to Blow Snow, pretty common problem with Small Engines that set half the season.
I have a toro 98 cc powerlite snowblower model 38182 it was running fine one day then bog down and died after that i cant get it to start it has a good fire on the plug plug isnt very wet it pops threw carb once in a while help
what is happening is there is tomuch grass in deck & not discharging as fast as it cuts it if deck is ajustable put it on high setting then try if it works then got back over it with a lower setting this is most likely the case to much grass in deck while mowing blade gets cought up alot with alot of grass in deck
