A spark plug often becomes fouled over time and can cause the engine to run rough or not at all. With 2-stroke engines, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that they burn a combination of oil and gas. Consequently addressing the snow blower\u2019s spark plug is of utmost priority in basic snow blower maintenance.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00M977NDO\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00M977NDO&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=10fb008dd0f6f1703f66e07984bfe478\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B00M977NDO&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00M977NDO\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Clean Air Filter<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It is also important that the snow blower\u2019s air filter is clean. A dirty air filter can effectively suffocate the engine causing it to run poorly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Change Oil<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If the snow blower engine is a 4-stroke, changing the oil is another major item that should be performed on the snow blower. Clean oil will help the engine run more efficiently and will protect the engine from wear and tear.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Check for Loose Nuts and Bolts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Snow blowers have a lot of moving parts and they tend to vibrate fairly dramatically when operating. Consequently nuts and bolts can loosen up over time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As a result, it\u2019s important to make sure all the nuts and bolts are tight so that you don\u2019t have pieces of the snow blower falling off in the driveway as you snow blow.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10386\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Snowblower-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Snowblower maintenance and repair tips.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Snowblower-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Snowblower.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Check Shear Bolts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also check the shear bolts to make sure they are in place. They ensure the horizontal auger blade turns properly and protects the snow blower from damage in the event the auger blade gets jammed in anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Never replace missing shear bolts with standard bolts as this could severely damage your snow blower if the auger gets jammed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Check Auger Skid Shoes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next inspect the snow blower\u2019s auger skid shoes to make sure they are adjusted evenly and close to the level of the driveway. This will help to ensure you don\u2019t leave any snow behind when snow blowing the driveway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Inspect Muffler<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Then take a look at the snow blower\u2019s muffler to make sure it is in good working order and not all rusted out. Snow blowers can be extremely loud and even with a good working muffler it\u2019s a wise idea to wear ear protection when using one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Inspect Pull Cord<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also make sure the pull cord is in good working order and that it retracts properly after pulling on it. Replace it if it looks frayed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Fill Gas Tank and Check Shut-off Valve<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next fill the gas tank with gas, or the appropriate gas\/oil mixture if it is a two stroke engine, and make sure the gas shut off valve is in the on position. Also add a fuel stabilizer to the engine to make sure the gas does not go stale during significant periods of non-use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Test Snow Blower<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Finally, adjust the choke and pull the pull cord. With any luck your basic snow blower repair and maintenance efforts will result in a smooth running snow blower that will get you through the winter season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If after repeated attempts to start the snow blower it refuses to fire up, then either adjust the carburetor per the snow blowers user manual, or take it to your local snow blower repair shop.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Dress Up Your Home&#8217;s Exterior with an Arbor<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; If you\u2019ve always wondered what to do about a side door entrance to your house or garage to make it more appealing, or just wanted to simply spice up the backyard, building an arbor may be your answer.
