Old snowblower late 70 early 80
Hello Dennis,
That is not too much information to go on, but i'll take a shot. I am gonna guess that this is likely a Tecumseh engine, but even if not, usually the main jet (when adjustable) is about 1.5 turns out from the factory. I would start in that range, and if you can get it to start, you can tweak it by running the engine at full throttle and adjusting it out further till the RPM's go down. Twist it back in some till they peak again and it should be good. Hope that helps.
