Go new or repair snow blower?

[Raven]

depends if you have a heated work space.

if not fix them later and go with a new one

but if your determined.........

carb's rarely die so get a carb kit and blow that sucker out
with air.... make sure to wear protective eye wear even when using
a spray can with solvent and the red straw because of blow back.

more often than not it's the settings that mess with you so witness mark
everything and or take digital pics and make it easier ,Don't rely on your memory.

Going to look into fixing them today. It would be nice to have a heated work space but I am used to working in the cold. I just replaced my fuel pump in my 97 Explorer Friday and Saturday on my back in the driveway . Atleast they put stainless supply and return lines unlike the brake lines which last winter I had to replace all of them because one started leaking due to rust what a bitch of a job. I just turned 100k and can't afford to replace it now so fix or repair daily it's going to be.

Update: Got the 1032 runing after cleaning the carb and making adjustments but I'm still not happy (engine won't idle smooth enough and the rpm's are fluctuating too much for my liking) so I'm going out to get new belts for the 1336 (they're shot) and will look for carburetor rebuild kits for both machines and if I have too I'll make a new scraper blade for the 1336 if I can't find one 36"(still has a little meat left but not much).

make sure the manifold is tight
