MIL asked me to see if her snow blower was working today. Have no idea if it was maintained in the spring when it was put away (dont think it was).
There was no gas, so I put a little in.
The pull to start it wouldn't pull, engine seemed seized up. Tried electric start, and it was the same. Pulled again and it started to move, and i pulled it slowly a few times.. seemed to loosen up. I pushed the priming bulb a couple times, choked it, and pushed the starter button. it fired up immediately, seemed to be running very fast.
I notice gas was shooting out of a hose which is on a silver cover near the carb. I let it ran for 30-45 seconds and gas kept shooting out of that hose...
I'm not very familiar with the machine, have only used it at her place once before... gas shooting out aint normal.
Toro 724 QXE, new-ish..
Trying to attach picture showing the hose, hope that worked.
edit: according to parts diagram gas was coming out of "127-9095 TUBE-BREATHER" which is attached to valve cover.
thanks!
