Hi guys,
New here and I have what is probably a common question. I just picked up a Snapper 5hp one stage snowblower with a Tecumseh HSK850 2 cycle engine. The snowblower was sold to me as "not working". I took the top cover off and squirted a bit of my "lawnboy" gas into the carb and it started right up (for about 3 seconds). I'm guessing if it's not starting during a normal startup procedure, but starting fine when I "prime" the carb it needs a rebuild / cleaning. How do I do this? Just rip everything apart and soak the parts in carb cleaner? Thanks in advance. Does anybody have the service manual for the HSK engine?
Eric
