George, back when I last worked on a blower with a Tecumseh, (4 or 5 years ago) those China knock off's weren't around. I looked EVERYWHERE for a new carb. I ended up with that blower. Customer gave it to me and went and bought a new one. I may look it up now and see if I can get a new el-cheapo carb. If I can... that baby will be fixed and on C-list! (Probably next winter right after a big snow, lol!!)
Disisme:
Well, when you bury the front end into a snow drift, you have to let the thing chew it up and spit it out. You didn't include a video, so I will say that is normal. You said the issue started a week or so ago... so, does it run now like it did before? Better? Worse? If it's better, I'd say you're golden. If it's worse, you still need to work on it. If you don't know.... then run it and don't feed it so fast! LOL.
