- I am glad you found it figured you checked the fuel filter, I guess I will have to include that in any more answers like that. I change the filter and air cleaner every year and add Lucas gas treatment to the gas to keep the gumming from happening. The lucas fuel stabilizer helps keep the primer bulb good and keeps the filter from jelling up. With alcohol and MTBE's that's added to gasoline it destroys the filters and turns them into jelly, and it's the same with cars as well.

It was a combination of clogged fuel filter, stuck choke butterfly, precipitate in the float bowl, gummy main jet, and overfilled crankcase.

I have a snowblower (MTD #195-990) that attaches to an MTD tractor #145-995. I have modified the snowblower to fit on a simplicity, however, I did not realize that the motors in the two tractors were installed in the opposite directions. Thus the snowblower is running in the wrong direction. I would like to get a schematic of the snowblower so that I can try to get another gear box made to have the snowblower operate in the proper direction. All it will take is another two gear gear box to fit on the bottom shaft of the existing gear box. I then can shorten the jack shaft to make everything operate correctly. So, I would like a schematic of the snowblower and/or the name of a place that sells or makes a gear box that I need. Thanks.
