Sounds like a plugged up main jet in you carbureter. Do you know if it is a Tecumseh engine?

Customer replied 818 days and 17 hours ago.

No.

I need to know what kind of engine it is. That way I can give you the proper instructions. See if you can find the model number off the unit. It should be on a sticker towards the back of it.

Customer replied 818 days and 17 hours ago.

Actually, I am at work, and don't have access to it now.

Do you want to get back to me later? I'll be here all day helping people. I'm on the east coast, I know how bad it is. Just come back to this question.

CJ

Customer replied 818 days and 17 hours ago.

Yes. I'll have to get back to you, but it probably will not be until tomorrow since I won't be home until later tonight.

That's fine. I'll get an Email alert when you get back on the site.

CJ

Customer replied 818 days and 17 hours ago.

Ok

I may even be on tonight. Just get me that model number and post it. If I'm near a computer I'll get on. Have a good day.

CJ

Customer replied 818 days and 17 hours ago.

I will. Thanks.
