A buddy of mine recently found a really old snow-thrower on the side of the road. I have tried looking it up online and am stumped to find no information on it.
I would go to Briggs and Stratton and shoot them an Email. They probably have information on them or can direct you to someone who does.

Police Blotter: Prescription Fraud Nets Arrest
St. Clair Shores police arrested a 22-year-old Warren man shortly before midnight on March 31 for prescription fraud. Officers were called to Walgreens , 21211 Harper Ave., by a pharmacist reporting he had a person who was trying to fill a fraudulent prescription. Officers found the man upon responding and detained him. An interview with the pharmacist revealed he had received the exact same prescription from another person earlier in the week. In addition, the doctor who allegedly wrote the prescription no longer practices medicine but a prescription pad had been stolen from the office. The man who filled the prescription of oxycontin admitted the prescription was fraudulent and officers took the pills, prescription and other information into evidence. The man was charged with fraud, according to a report.

Man is the Warmest Place to Hide
First major snow of the year here in Southwestern Ontario and I find myself with a flat snow blower tire, which of course is not user serviceable, at least not by this user (yes, I tried the whole rope around the tire Spanish windlass nonsense which resulted in little beyond firing the end of my bicycle pump across the basement like a high velocity hollow point and a tire that looked like it had been blown out the hatch of the International Space Station). So, other than making some really great snow circles with the snowblower, there isn't much to be done except burrow ineffectually with my old snow shovel with the twisted metal lip that always catches the pavement and threatens to neatly catapult me into the path of traffic whenever I have the barest sensation of "making headway." Whatever,

It’s a Model:38175 Toro CCR Powerlite-e – Electric Start 1000*** series year 1991
I put fresh gas/oil mixure per manual. (Tank was emptied prior to storage.) I put in a new spark plug matching the old. Still it would not start.
I used carb cleaner and sprayed it in the carb via breather. The engine would run until what I would say. "The cleaner burnt off and the engine ran out of gas". So, i’d say. Because it started briefly it is getting a spark and capable of running. But, it’s just not getting gas.
I went to prime it and the primer button shattered under my thumb from dry rot. I replaced the primer with the primer from my old toro snowblower.
Are there any other rubber or neopreme gaskets in this model that could have dry rotted and causing it not to start? (I know when I bought a used lawn mower this summer. The guy took the carb off and replaced a rubber gasket that acted like a fuel pump some how).
Does this model have something like that could have rotted?
Well, tomorrow I am checking hoses from tank and primer to carb.
Anyone else have any suggestions on what to look for ,replace or try as well?
a detailed part drawing can be found here if you type in the model number.
I am a tinkerer. I am not an expert. SO, please please please use part numbers with layman terms on things i should try or replace.

Thanks all in ADVANCE Thanks Everyone who ANSWERED.
I found a local High School Vocational School with a small engine shop 3 blocks away from me.
Costed me .00 in parts. Labor was free due to the students doing the repair. (Check your local school though)
I dropped it off at 9:00 am and by 11 am sameday. I had it back in working order.
Probelm was with the float, needle and something else being corroded. They did say it was not gel build up. but, like rust corrosion from sitting so many years.
