Sounds like lack of oil someplace. Could be something that is bent.

SOURCE: snow thrower won't throw snow

the problem could be the snow is to heavy for the motor to keep up, if thats the case you may need to upgrade to a more powerful model or try not to overload it. take it a little slower so the motor can keep up. but try tightening the belt. with your pointer finger push down on the belt it should have about a half inch give, if it moves more than that its too loose and probably slipping under load

SOURCE: craftsman 8hp snowblower starts but will not stay

Your snowblower carburator is gummed up. Go to an auto parts store and get a can of a carb. cleaner called seafoam. Follow the directions as far as how much to put into the snowblower gas tank. Run it for a few minutes and it will clear up. Regards, Joe

SOURCE: CRAFTSMAN SNOW THROWER DRIVE WHEELS WILL NOT MOVE

well if it is a walk behind style it could be the drive is out of adjustment, also craftsman were famous for the cable mounts bending and that will throw them out of adjustment. follow the traction drive linkage down to the base of the blowe and there should be an adjustment, or it will be under the belt gaurd or even on the handle on some.

I have a Toro two stage snow thrower that has an auger issue..left just spins as it want the right moves snow....how do I fix...the machine is 13 years old can't find any answers....help please.

The shaft has shier pins that break when an object gets caught in the auger. This prevents further damage. You will need to replace that pin. Make sure you stop the blower, unplug the spark plug before working on it. The pin holds the auger to the shaft. Turn the auger until you see the hole through the shaft and insert a new shier pin.

Snow blower runs and auger/ blade rotates but the wheels Anne not rotating. 2- stage Aries 5520. Not sure if the thrower piece is rotating. Any answers for getting wheel moving/ working

Most self propelled units have 2 belts. One for the auger, and one to power the wheels. Check the belts, and then check the drive assembly under the motor to see if it is engaging.

I JUST PURCHASED A SINGLE STAGE SNOW THROWER FROM LOWES. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SINGLE STAGE VS A DUAL OR MULTI STAGE SNOW THROWER THANKS DON [email protected]

a single is just that a single auger that scoops snow and shoots it out chute their a smaller unit --a dual front auger scoops snow into another auger which shoots the snow through the chute the duals are bigger and they move more and heavier snow

I have a yardworks snowblower however the wheels stopped working

Many of these units are chain driven devices since belts will shrink/slip/crack in the cold wet environment. For that reason, many manufacturers will use roll pins on the axle shaft of the drive wheels and on the driven shaft of the auger. If they get jammed for any reason, rather than break the chain or damage the engine, the roll pin will shear off. Then you simply must replace the roll pin to regain normal operation. See image of roll pin.

Snow blower will not throw snow far

I take it that you have a 2-stage snow blower, that is is has the auger blades and then the 2-stage impeller. The impeller blade is damaged <<OR>> the motor is to small to through the snow far. If you have a 5-horse engine and throwing heavy snow, the snow may not go as far as the light fluffy stuff.
A single stage snow thrower is not designed to throw snow far, just move it over a bit.

Loud noise when auger is engaged on 2 stage 24" 208cc

If this is covered with a warren tee I would take it back where I bought it. Sounds like a faulty bearing or something is sprung and hitting when it starts up.
