How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
It is normal for a snow thrower engine to run in this manner. The engines on snow throwers are set to run with a slightly rich fuel mixture. This is to prevent the engine from bogging or stalling when the snow thrower suddenly experiences a heavy load of snow.
A common issue is a clogged carburetor from stale gas. Using a fuel stabilizer keeps fuel fresh and the carburetor from gumming and varnishing. Third step, check the ignition system with a spark tester. Step four, replace the spark plug and reconnect the spark plug wire.
If the snowblower engine RPMs are surging up and down, check the following parts for damage: springs, gasket, carburetor, and spark plug. We can help fix your problem with our repair guide. Before you work or check on any parts in your snowblower, make sure to unplug the spark plug and empty the fuel tank for safety.
The carburetor of the snow blower might need a good cleaning to remove any fuel residues that have built up. This is usually the reason why a snow blower backfires or surges, due to the carburetor and air filter not providing the correct fuel and air mixture.
RPM fluctuation is a common issue for cars with faulty spark plugs as they fire the fuel with the pistons. If they wear out, your acceleration slows, and jerking and misfire start occurring, which, in combination, causes poor fuel economy and vibrations.
The easiest way to tell if your engine is flooded with gas is to remove the spark plug. If it`s wet, it`s flooded and you`ll need to let the cylinder dry out before trying to restart. Compressed air can help speed up the process.
The most common cause of a surging snowblower at idle is a blocked carburetor idle jet. Removing, cleaning, and refitting the idle jet commonly fixes the issue.
Engine surging is usually a warning sign that your car or truck is having combustion problems. Since a vehicle`s ignition wires and spark plugs play a major role in proper engine performance, it is likely time to check your engine`s electrical components.
If an engine is not getting enough fuel (this is called “running lean”), due to fuel pressure (regulated by the fuel pump and regulator), restricted fuel injectors, a vacuum leak or really anything that throws off the fuel mixture going in to the engine, this can cause the surge.
When your snowblower engine only runs for a few seconds and then dies, the problem is often caused by a gummed-up carburetor. The carburetor mixes air with fuel in the proper proportion to produce a combustible gas.

Wont start now
ANSWER : By tipping it back, the spark plug got wet with gas. Replace the plug or remove it and clean it dry (after drying it, use a lighter or other heat source to make sure before putting it back in). A little starting fluid would also help after cleaning or replacing. Spray starting fluid in the air intake only, not on the plug.
