I picked up a snowblower free on roadside and issue was it caught fire. Sonstart tearing into it and its real clean no nests or anything. So i go through carb clean it. Replace melted primer bulb and hose.
So get to the point where i can start it and cranking and it backfires a fireball out the carb. Engine still starts and when running runs with no issues.
So what i noticed was can prime more than once or fuel runs out carb. Thats why the fuel atcher is melted i assume.
What i have checked so far is replace spark plug, flywheel key is good, adjisyed the valves back into spec.
Another possible issue is when i checked spark i held plug against the metal and notived the spark arc was at the plug threads and not the electrode. I tried 2 brand new plugs and both like this. Could this be a coil isue?
