Commercial Snow Blowers

Snowblower motor wont stay running... what is the problem!?

Hey guys I have a Tecumseh 7.5hp electric start, snow blower motor that wont stay running. It has fresh oil and gas. We have cleaned the carburetor and the carbon off the head. The motor is getting spark and fuel. This is what happens we will eleectric start it, and it will idle weirdly it almost goes from high revs to low. Then it shuts off after a few seconds. What could the problem be!!!! Thanks Ryan

1. If it will start, most likely not an electrical problem. i would look at fuel starvation. If your unit has a manual prime button, when it starts to die, push the prime button once or twice and see if it runs better. If so, you are starving for fuel. Check the carb lines, fuel lines, make sure there are tight connections and you are not sucking air
2. try to check it out first on auto repair shop....
