15cm of snow and she does not go

Hi all
My 8hp 26 inch cut snowblower goes not want to start.
3 weeeks ago I started her up after the summer hibernation with 2 pulls. Today she does not turn . I have all kinds of gas , but she does not want to start. She sputtered a couple of times (Like she was gonna start but... no go). I've chanhed her pug 2 seasons ago , gas is fresh and is going to the carb , so much now that it dripped.

Thanks for any imput, she is a beaut, 26 years young

Merry Christmas

Got 41 cm of snow Friday here in Montreal. Took out the toro 8 - 26  and did 4 driveways all with heavy  end of drive ways . The toro is 25 years old and did the job. Today , a neighour came to my door and asked me  "whether he could rent my snowblower" to which I responded NO my machine is not for rent , its 25 years old and that I will never be able to purchase a machine of that quality again if it breaks , the snow is harder and more compact, moreover If it breaks no one will pay to fix it but me.

So gents  do you get the same proposals ??

How would you respond??

OK, it's 3 times now. We got about 5 to 6 inches of mildly wet snow. I went out at 6:15 am to get my wife's car cleaned and cut at least a path for her to go to work. I owe her. I work nights and she's gone out on countless nights and warmed my car up and cleaned off dustings from the car. What a gal. I then went about the task of finishing off my driveway and my paths around the yard. Although the next door neighbor has a blower, he wasn't out. I went over and checked with him and he felt there wasn't enough snow to blow, since they have 4 wheel drives. They forget that when this stuff melts then freezes the driveway turns to a sheet of ice. This guy lets me use his wood splitter so I told him I'd do it anyway. After I finished his, I went to the next house down and did an older couples driveway. They have a nice Simplicity blower, but the husband just got double knee replacement, so I didn't think he'd be up to the task.  LOL. Finally I went and did the driveway for the older woman that lives on the other side of me. She's in Florida until April, but it helps to give the house that lived in look, for security reasons. The old JD never flinched or clogged today.  I didn't get any pictures today, because no one was home to take one, so I'll post this one from the last storm, because I had this happen a few times today. I don't know, I think a good ole gust of snowblow in the face is refreshing. Yeah, right I was soaked when I finished, but overall, a good morning.

We are smack in the middle of February  and here in Montreal Quebec Canada , i've only taken the toro out twice. Talk about no snow. Seems when I was a young lad growing up in the 70's and early 80' s we had so much more snow.

Have you guys used your machines much this year? I've used more wd40 and oil than gas

Cheers

Jim
