Advice on 13 year old Craftsman (C950-52340-3) Snow Blower
#1   Jan 13, 2008 10:31 am
Hello All:

This is my first time to the forum and thought it would be a great place to get some information.

I just purchased a 13 year old Craftsman 10 H.P. 29 inch Dual Stage Snow Blower (C950-52340-3). It was made in Canada and has a Tecumseh engine. Please bare with me as I give you some of the symptoms. The owner only used it for two winters then stored it in his garage under cover. He had so much snow to move that it was taking too long with the blower, so he bought a plow instead. The blower looks brand new. However he never drained the gas from the tank and it just sat for eleven years. He told me he tried to start it, but it wouldn't start. He believes the carburetor is gummed up. He gave me the manual too.

I am wondering if there is a list of things that should be checked since the snow blower has been sitting. If so, what?

Does anyone have experience with this? Is it just a simple clean the carburetor job?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom
