In reply to Steve Kwiecinski. Hey Steve. What you’re describing sounds like a classic case of carburetor flooding, and that vent tube is doing exactly what it's meant to do—relieve pressure when there's too much fuel in the bowl. Gas squirting out usually means fuel is overfilling the float bowl. Here’s what’s likely going on. 1. Stuck or Sunken Float 2. Worn or Dirty Needle Valve 3. Debris in the Inlet or Float Bowl

The carb on my John Deere has gasoline squirting out of what looks like a vent tube whenever the engine runs. It is a tube cast right on the carb, maybe 3/8′ long. Can you help?

If the trans axle belt is bad, will it cause the lawn tractor to move slower?

Hi,
What simple OHC cam engine is this in the last pictures? Do you know the brand ? Looks exactly like mine which is a 139cc, but I can´t find the brand (for replacement parts) and valve specs.
Thanks !

I installed a new carburetor and spark plug and checked auger engagement. Engine is hard to start but finally starts with 20 priming button pushes. Stalls on auger engagement even after warm up.

Comment on Put a Snowblower on its Side? (do this instead) by George

Hi John.

Thanks for this great write up. I have used this same simple method myself.
But, today I am writing to ask if I can store my snowblower in this ‘on the bin’ position for a storage position to save footprint space in my garage?
Is there any harm to the snowblower in doing so?
I too realized this position helps prevent oil from flooding the carb or exhaust, and if the gas is empty then even better.
One thought was that maybe over time the sides of the bin could give under the weight, but is it like standing perfectly ‘squarely’ on a can without crushing it or more like standing on a cinder block?
Any other issues in storing it like this?

Thanks,
George
