Do you rev it up when you use it? they are made to rev up. Are the paddles that throws snow worn? Even if the skid plate is worn but the snow is getting to the paddles it should throw snow. In saying that no snow blower will throw good if you do not have much snow. The more the better it should throw. They won't work well if there is under 3 to 4 inches. and really throw well.
it sounds like it is not running high enough has to run pretty high on the rpm so it can throw it out the chute unless your rubber or steel blades are worn
There is a spring attached to the throttle linkage. At the other end is an arm that the spring attaches to. Bend the arm so that the spring is tighter and it will throttle up higher under a load. Don't go too far or you will take a chance of blowing the engine. Best to use a rpm tester and set it to factory specs.
It sounds like it is running lean. Back out your carbuerator adjustment screws a quarter turn counterclockwise. These settings should be 1 and a quarter on low speed (closest to engine block) and 1 and a half on high speed (farthest from engine block). These are starting points the adjustment may vary a little eigther way. Never adjust for max rpms that is too lean and will cause engine failure. Hope this helps ya.
There is probably a shear pin or bolt that has broken, providing all other belts and accessories are intact. Should be very simple to take the bolt out of the wheel where it attaches to the shaft. Just take it to a hardware store or an outdoor store that sells snowblowers.
Screw both screws right in (don't force them) Then turn each screw out 1 & half turns each OUT. This will get engine running. To fine tune- turn low speed screw out, bit by bit, while idling, till engine revs change, then turn screw in till revs change, the correct setting will be somewhere between the 2 adjustments you just made. Do the same thing to the high speed screw, but with full revs. Good Luck. Stevo..
