I was given a LawnBoy 1871 Snowthrower w/ a small 4cycle engine. The engine starts fine, with pull or electric start, but this thrower has a "engage" lever on the handle to get the blades to start turning. When I engage the blades, the engine sputters then stalls. It will run un-engaged just fine. I replaced with new spark plug, but dont know that much about engines.
Can this be repaired by me, or better to find a used one to purchase? It is from 1980 if that helps. Thanks
