John Deere 826 snowblower.
Original Message   Nov 7, 2006 10:23 am
i just bought a used 826 JD snowblower.

after cleaning the carbs it runs great at idle but at high speed it backfires .
i adjusted the low and high speed needles an i am 100% shure it is not runniung lean.
could it have something to do with the timing or governour? i put regular 87 in this machine.
new plug.
when i said backfiring i ment firing trough exhaust(mufler) Bang bang.
also how much oil does this 8hp engine take? and wat grade . sea 10W30???

thanks

just want to be in shape before the snow comes.

One more thing :  remove the shear pins and grease the auger on the shafts, spin the auger so the grease gets all over between the two shafts and then put the shear pins back in.This way the augers won't weld its self to the shafts.Also since you bought this used I would make sure you have the right shear pins, because if you hit something and the auger jams you may distroy your gear box.
