Poulan snowblower with tecumseh engine runs briefly when carb cleaner sprayed on carb, then dies. Replaced the gas with 93 octane. Has only been used one season...seems like it can't get its gas

First loosen the bowl screw and let the bad gas out....drain tank and put new gas in if it had ANY gas in it from last season.....this could work...next ,you prob. need to remove and clean the carb...(make sure the low side on the bottom of bowl goes back in the original position....which is back toward the engine at a tad of an angle to the right (15-20 deg.
Hope this info helps....
Hi
This is a common problem with snow blowers becuase they set around more then they get used and the gas gets stale and cloggs up the carb. First thing to try is remove the bolt that holds the carb bowl on and clean it. It should have 1 or 2 holes through the side close to the bottem and 1 hole about half way up. If this doesn't do the trick you need to remove the whole carb disassemble and soak it in carb cleaner.
