Proper storage of any machine is crucial. Issues due to improper storage is the #1 cause of machine failures. If your snow blower preformed great when you put it away and then preformed poorly or not at all the following season, then improper storage is the most likely culprit. There are a few different ways to prepare your machine for storage, this is what we recommend. Full Throttle Repairs does offer storage preparation at a very affordable rate.
1. Start your snow blower and let it run until it is completely out of fuel and sputters out.
2. Let your machine rest for about one minute or so and attempt to start the snow blower. let the snow blower run until it sputters out again
3. If the snow blower does not start, attempt starting in "full choke" and let it run in full choke until it sputters out.
4. Pull recoil a few more times to draw any remaining gas out of the carburetor. It is important to remove as much fuel a possible because any fuel left in the system will cause build up and corrosion
5. Remove spark plug and spray a generous amount of fogging oil through the spark plug hole, replace spark plug and thread it to finger tight. This step will make the initial start less stressful for the machine and will prevent the spark plug from seizing.
6. Spray fogging oil into the carburetor and lightly spray any fuel lines, primer bulbs and rubber components with oil. This will help protect internal carburetor components and prevent dry rotting
7. Clean machine and loosen gas cap so any remaining fuel can evaporate. store inside preferably under a tarp
