My son was given a toro snow blower with a 5 hp briggs 2 cycle engine. I thought he was kidding until I googled it. Briggs did make a special 2 cycle engine for toro. The person who gave it to him says it runs but won't develope power when it gets into snow, it dies. He had a place go over the carb but the problem remains.
I haven't seen it. Just thinking that the muffler could be choked, carboned up. Does anyone have any tips to look for?
Also is it possible to replace engine with a honda clone from harbor freight or is the shaft on briggs a special design?
Thanks
