Thank you to all who responded to my original question.

Yes, it did turn out to be the gas cap. The cap that came with thesnowblower was missing the insert inside the cap. Once they gave me a new cap, it worked just fine. I am really glad as I had to use it last night for the new snowfall we received.

Geno,

good suggestion, you hope people are smart enough to know that, but I know a few who would not know it.

Sure would trade you. Last week we were below zero and yesterday we got 9 inches of snow. Winter in NE Wisconsin is always harsh and long........

Wow, thanks for all the advice. Sure seems like the problems may be the gas cap. I did look at the cap when I was home for lunch and I noticed it did not have any sort of seal, it was just hard plastic screwing onto hard plastic. I am wondering if something is missing.

I could not try it with the cap off, or look for pinched wires, as I was dressed for work, so I will try those things after work.

Yes, I meant the bulb that I pumped. Makes sense that a warm engine should not need it.

"Richie" I like the animated Toro snowblower in your message!

Also, if you have a gas shut off valve, make sure that is fully open.


I am pretty sure I looked all over for a shut off valve and could not find one. It was dark so I will check in daylight today.
