I agree with Marty that the carb needs cleaning. I usually take the entire carb off and clean out everything. If I were to take a guess I would say the problem is the high speed jet has some pluggage. I would take the high speed jet out (right screw) and spray some carb cleaner in the hole. Screw the jet back in and come out 3/4 of a turn. Marty knows more about equipment than I do so I would do this if Marty's solution doesn't work.

Very nice catch Frank !!

It looks in great shape, how many miles on it?

Is it difficult to get parts?

Plates are a great finishing touch.

Thanks to Marshall I have again found the site.

I assume everyone found the address by word of mouth.  Although searches found the site it would never connect. 

I also had to re enter my name and password since Firefox did not recognize the numeric address as Abbys. 

Is this something that will be corrected?  If it will stay this way I could forward the new address to the members who are in my email address book.

I have learned it is a good idea to keep the moderator addresses in case you run into trouble in the future.

I have a CR20 and it is still doing fine.  Mine is 1988 vintage, 2.5 hp with a Tecumseh engine (AH600).  It will easily handle 6 inches of snow and I have pushed it through 15 inches but it clearly wasn't meant to do that.  I have been able to get parts for it but some of the carb gaskets had to be purchased in a kit.  Need to keep it tuned since they may be a little hard to start. 

Nice little machine and I will not part with it.

I am with LL here.

You just don't get the same level of satisfaction between mowing the lawn/using the edger compared to removing 1 or 2 foot of snow from the driveway and blasting through the end of drive pile.

I usually don't summerize until the end of April.  There is always hope for one more storm.
