I inherited a Jacobsen Snowburst Snowblower, it has electronic ignition (engine No. oh006a518897). This unit will go to my brother in law's house, if I can get it going, so that I don't have to drag my unit over there whenever it snows. Any help will be MUCH appreciated.

I cleaned the carb and the fuel filter and installed a new gas line. I set the carb adjustment screws to 1.25 turns out from all the way in. It will start after a few pulls, but runs very rough. IF you shut it off, it you have to let it set fer a while b4 it will run again. I am using 50:1 with Sta-bil fuel stabilazer. Again much thanx.

I had one of those and it ran fine until I put stabilzer in the gas. After the stabilizer was added it was hard starting and rough running. The carb passages and feul tank had a thick tan substance which I had attributed to the stabilizer. I cleaned it in Chemtrol B-12 and put a carb kit in it and had no more troubles with it. I never used stabilizer again either.

Ken,
I am sorry to say, you have no rose. A few things to checl on Jacobson snow Burst blowers.
1. Check compression, needs a minimum of 90# to start and run right.
2. if compression is low, check for a blown head gasket, they do that quite frequently.
3. Check to make sure the bottom of the crankcase is not full of fuel.
4. Use 32:1 fuel/oil mix in these old Jacobson blowers, it has a Jacobson 2 cycle and they need all the oil they can get.
5. One wya to make it start a little easier if it has good compression and has fresh fuel is to lay the blower down on its back to start it, these have the carb on the very bottom of engine, if everything in these engines are not up to par, you do not have enough vacumn in cylinder to pull fuel up in to crankcase, laying it down gets the carb at least level with engine.
6. lots of luck

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the carb screws. My snowburst starts and runs good but when I push it into the snow it dies. How do I stop this?
