Here is a new video for cleaning out the main jet without removing the carburetor - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n712Z7NoldjYhoE.html.

Ok, i have the exact blower, had it for 15 yrs, the thing surged just like yours is, i finally fixed the problem, & it was not a dirty jet like i thought it was, the problem is yr Pilot Jet, remove yr Pilot Jet , their is a little brass pc. inside of the black plastic jet plug, take 1/16" drill bit, & attempt to drill yr pilot jet out, it will automatically spin because you wont be able to drill it out, at that point, push the brass pc completely out, Remove the Whole Brass Pc. it is ok, & i promise you just fixed yr problem, it will not be too rich or nothing bad, you wont have to run with the choke on anymore, Guaranteed 👍, you just fixed the problem, they put such a small pilot jet in there for California emissions laws ....IT IS NOT A DIRTY CARB, IT IS YR PILOT JET, REMOVE THE WHOLE BRASS PC.INSIDE THE BLACK PLUG PILOT JET, THAT WILL FIX THE SURGING !!!!!

Thank you for thos video. I drained my gas tank and I will attempt to drain the float portion by the carburetor. Happy to see someone who has the same exact one I do

Sea Foam works, but you have to use in all the time. Always mix it in every time you fill your gas can. Make sure you have a well sealed gas can. I have been using Sea Foam for years with very good results. Good luck.

According to Sea Foam, when dealing with a dirty carburetor, you can use Sea Foam up to a 50/50 mix. If available in your area, I highly recommend using non ethanol fuel. Ethanol is the reason for dirty or clogged carburetors. When left in the carburetor bowl in the off season, the ethanol absorbs moisture and as the fuel in the bowl evaporates during storage it can cause corrosion and, in some cases, jelling. It is best to close the fuel line coming from the tank and drain the float bowl completely before storage.

The best way is to remove the carburetor. There is a jet on the top of the carb you cannot get to without removing the carburetor. If you do not clean this jet all is lost because you will have engine surging and the machine will not perform properly.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Hello, Since it's the end of winter, I ran my Craftsman snow blower until the gas was completely gone. Then I added ethanol free gas and ran it for my 5 minutes. Should I leave the snow blower in the choke position until November when I start using it again? Should I add sea foam to the Ethanol free gas?

Did the seafoam resolve the surging issue? Mine is currently surging and I not in the mood to disassemble the carb to clean it.

You can put antiseize on the spark plug for an ease removal))

hi question for you I have the same machine but in that prime not get gas how I fix that

Seems you r good knowledgeable about this , so , do u think it will be good idea to use seafome with gas fuel , and use , so always stay clean carb ? Thanks

Thanks for very valuable information. But seems , video is not complete. Do u have other part ? Please, help .

Thx

My Craftsman mower starts fine with the choke on, but when I turn it to run it shakes and shuts down. It started fine about a month ago. Can I just add 4 oz's of Seafoam to the gas tank and then run the engine until the gas+seafoam is gone? The gas is only about a week old.

I have power smart snow blower, is there any air filter, if you know ? Thanks

Did it ever stop surging after the seafoam?

Well, what was the outcome?

I grew up in a small town, I still soak my parts and gasoline.

Still runs terrible
