When my son had this Sears 24" snow blower it was "stored" like where he used it last. Carb and gas tank was a mess. Got it cleaned up and ran good last year. Started and ran it a bit about 2 month ago and was good to go. Yesterday morning decided to bring it up to the garage in case we did get snow out of this storm headed our way. Would only run with the choke 2/3 on. Went to pull the carb off again this morning and forgot what all I had to go through to get the carb off. The bracket that hold the carb wraps clear around the front of the engine. Electric start button has to be removed to get that side strip loose, two screws around the recoil start and 4 bolt around the carb area. To work on one side have to start removing pieces off the opposite side. Almost like a "Better Idea" from Ford. Carb is in the parts washer with fluid running through it now. Will go out after dinner and finish up the job. Evidentially I didn't get all the crud out of the gas tank the last time as there was a bit in the bottom of the carb.
