There had been lots of snow around my area lately -- over 35" of snow one week, followed by another 8", then soon another 12" -- AND the snow blower would not start. So, I braved myself on opening up the carburetor and see if I can clean it. Turned out it is pretty beat. Looking at replacement parts and it seems that it would be easier to just replace the whole carburetor. This is where my lack of knowledge holding me back. I'm hoping someone with enough knowledge on the matter could shine some light on a few questions:
1) I can't find the part number for it, so I'm thinking maybe I could use another carburetor for the engine with the same hp and look the same as mine?
2) My carburetor is an adjustable jet type. Would I be able to use the fixed jet type? What are the advantage and disadvantage of one vs the other?
Oh, my blower is a White Outdoor Snow Boss 850 (8hp). I got myself an electric snow blower for light snow, but would need this gas powered one to get through the packed snow that the plow leaves behind.
Thanks,
Trung
