Snow thrower cant get gas>>>>
Original Message   Feb 3, 2008 2:09 pm
 

My 11 month old MTD 9.5 hp snow thrower will not get gas.  It wont prime gas into the carb, or get gas while running.  It will start with gas or starting fliud put in the spark plug hole, but will run only 5-10 seconds and die.  I removed the gas from the tank, sprayed through both hoses ( from fuel tank and primer) to clear, inserted new gas, but no luck, .  Any clues?

Hey Guys-

I wanted to let you know that this thread saved me from buying a new leaf blower!  Thanks.  I was about a day away from taking the blower to the junk guy up the street so he could fix it and resell in his front yard. 

It was a daggone sticky float.

Thanks again.
Craig
