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 :

A clogged carburetor is most commonly caused by leaving fuel in the snowblower for a long period of time. Over time, some of the ingredients in the fuel may evaporate, leaving behind a thicker, stickier substance. This sticky fuel can clog up the carburetor and cause the engine to stall.
chamber if there`s too much fuel it`ll bog down and run really crappy. if there isn`t enough fuel it`ll run very lean and most likely stall out on you. so if you turn that screw clockwise. it will decrease the amount of fuel going into the car.
A dirty carburetor is the most common cause of a stalling snowblower engine when the auger is engaged. Cleaning the carburetor and fresh gas will fix the stalling.
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.
A plugged or improperly adjusted carburetor can cause your leaf blower to start, but then immediately die. Over time, especially if fuel has been left in the leaf blower for a long period, some of the fuel will evaporate and you will be left with a thick, sticky substance that can ultimately clog the carburetor.
Since your snow blower has sat idle for months, the gas could easily have developed gummy residue, which can make starting the machine difficult. Siphon out the old stuff with a small siphon pump, and follow these steps for how to dispose of the gasoline. Then, fill the tank with fresh gas and try starting it again.
If the engine is low on power, it will bog down when you try to accelerate. This could be caused by a number of different issues, including low compression, a bad timing belt, sucking too much air, or even a head gasket leak.
If you don`t have snow blower spray available and you need to get the job done today, try using a cooking spray or WD40.
One way to prevent your snowblower from clogging is by applying a specially designed non-stick snow spray to the augers and shoot of the machine. The non-stick snow removal spray comes in an aerosol can making the application process is quick and easy.
The easiest way to diagnose gas is to smell the fuel in question. Oxidized gas has a sour smell and is much stronger smelling than fresh gas. The other method is to drain a sample from your machine`s fuel tank or your gas can into a clear glass container. If the gas is dark in color, it has more than likely gone bad.
FULL Choke means the choke is closed. This seals off the carburetor`s air supply in order to create a richer fuel mixture needed to start a cold engine. Move the choke back to RUN once the engine warms up.

Swisher 44″ mower starts and runs but engine bogs
ANSWER : The engine in this machine seems to be powerful. If you can remove the belt from the pulley that drives the blade. Try turning the pulley buy hand. If it turns tight or not at all this is your problem. The unit that is the pulley to blade assembly is seized or ready to seize. Sometimes they are designed to be taken apart and repaired, and sometimes they are not. Did you check for a grease fitting within the pulley to blade unit? I would like to hear how this works out for you. Best of luck.
