@ We've had 14" of rain the last 5 weeks. I'm preparing for a long winter as my old snowblower broke last season.Answers
It's about 20-25 years old, and I last started it 4 years ago, and it worked. I replaced the spark plug, put in fresh gas, and hanged the oil. It's a pull start, but it isn't starting. . .Figured I'd ask before it goes to snowblower heaven.
Give it a couple shots of starting fluid and make sure the fuel lines and carb isnt gummed up. Anything sitting that long will more than likely need a crab rebuild.
Yup, I'm bad, and the lead cord/trouble light is new, and defecvtive... Sheesh...
You could donate it to charity, most would be willing to pick it up.
What do I do to fix my old snowblower. It runs for a little while then shuts off after the fuel under the spark plug gets burned. Is it a dirty carburetor or something else? What do I do to fix it?
could be a dirty carb. try draining the old gas and using some carb cleaner.

One sunny day on his postal route, Vincent Wyckoff crosses the path of an elderly gentleman whistling for his lost parakeet. The old man is upset, and Wyckoff moves down the block slowly, looking high and low, hoping to spot the little bird. He reaches the man’s house and offers sympathy to his wife, who smiles sadly and says, “We haven’t had that bird for twenty-five years.” Letter carriers like Wyckoff walk through the same neighborhood each day, observing the lives and routines of its residents. They learn its stories, make connections between people, and, in many ways, become the common thread that connects neighbors to one another. Along Wyckoff’s mail route, Native American children teach him about totems. He finds assistance for a reclusive chain-smoking book collector who can’t maintain his property. He delivers a much-delayed registered letter mailed from Saigon in 1976. Over the years, Wyckoff sees the neighborhood of blue-collar retirees change as a diverse group...
Baring It All Generations of werewolves have been secretly residing in a secluded valley a stone's throw from Grundy, Alaska. So when a snooping Outsider comes to Grundy to investigate rumors of lycanthropic shenanigans in the area, the valley's pack alpha, Maggie Graham, resolves to chase him away, even if doing so takes a quick bite on the butt. What a pity that researcher Nick Thatcher turns out to be so drool-worthy, and that his kisses make Maggie want to sit up and beg. Maggie just can't seem to convince Nick to leave . . . and even worse, she can't convince "herself "to stay away from "him. "Cross-species dating is problem enough for a harried alpha female, but on top of that, a rival group of werewolves is trying to move into the valley. With interpack war threatening, Maggie can't afford to be distracted. Combining romance and a career can be tough for anyone; for a werewolf in love with a human, it may be disastrous. . . .

Les O'Dell: Recalling a real neighbor
I don’t exactly remember when I met Paul Hohner. It seems as though he always lived next door. Oh, he did move into the neighborhood on the west side of Galesburg after we did, but I recall him always being there.
Dad always said the Hohners moving in was a sure sign that the neighborhood was going downhill. After all, Mr. Hohner’s wife’s first name was Helen, the same as my mother’s. Dad said no neighborhood should have to deal with two Helens.
A very cordial and pleasant man, I still can hear his laugh as he traded a joke with my dad at first, and as I grew older, often with me. Neither of us passed the opportunity for a good practical joke. Perfect example: One summer, on the day he was due home after a vacation, I connected his lawn hose to ours and to that, a sprinkler, which I placed in the far corner of our yard, hundreds of feet from the spout on his house. He probably spent many years thinking I watered our grass on his dime. Thing is, he wouldn’t have cared.
Affectioknit: Blowing Snow!...
...After maneuvering the snowblower over all the sidewalks to and from the Church...Scout said he preferred the 'regular' shovel to the smelly old snowblower (this Mama is lovin' her 'green' child)...I would have to agree with him...but some of those packed 3-4 foot drifts we get on the front sidewalks would be near impossible to shovel...
Hooray for Scout! We've been living in houses very ill suited for snowblowing, since the driveways are never long enough to justify owning a snowblower. My hubby loves shoveling snow, so that helps. Last year I strapped baby Kidoodle for some shoveling, but he squirmed so much I could barely shovel and screamed so hard he threw up in the snow. :( I'll leave that job to Skedaddle from now on, though I doubt we'll be seeing much snow in NC!
Menards tries to break my snowblower
My snowblower wants 0W-30 oil. It'll take 5W-30, but for really cold temperatures it recommends 0W-30. I tried getting 0W-30 last spring to no luck. I figured with winter approaching, maybe I could find it locally now. Not wanting to drive around, I call up Menards (430 Commerce Drive, Madison). (I originally called up Home Depot, as it's a bit closer. But after a few minutes of "Your call is important to us," I decided my call wasn't that important to them.)
After getting transferred to hardware, the fellow who answers assures me that they have the oil my snowblower needs. I clarify that I want 0W-30, he assures me that they have it. So off I go!
Naturally, they don't carry 0W-30. After not finding it on the shelves, I ask for help. Of course, this is Menards, famous for never having enough floor staff. (If you want floor staff, go to Home Depot. They're all clueless, but there are a lot of them.) After a few minutes, I finally find someone. She works in the correct department, but clearly knows less about motor oil than I do. I know nothing. I just want what the instructions say. She isn't even sure what the carry and can do nothing more than take me to the motor oils, then stare at them.
Eventually I suggest that perhaps someone else might be able to help, that perhaps as it's an unusual oil, it might be kept somewhere else, or perhaps someone who knows the oils better might be able to see what we're overlooking. She takes me to another staff. While she is just clueless, the fellow she takes me to knows even less. He insists that SAE 30 is identical to 0W-30 and I should just by that No. I'm pretty clueless, but I know there is a difference and it's important. Something to do with cold temperature start ups.* And I'm quite sure that SAE 30 would be very bad for my snowblower. I declined his generous suggestion to put the wrong thing in my snowblower and leave.
Some quick internet research reveals that 0W-30 oil behaves like...
