How to Clean the Carburetor on a Yard Machines Snow Blower
- 1). Power off your Yard Machines snow blower if it is running and allow it several minutes to cool.
- 2). Remove the bolts holding the Yard Machines snow blower's muffler in place by using a socket wrench. Removal of the muffler helps to allow full access to the carburetor. You can find the muffler on the bottom left of the Yardman's engine assembly.
- 3). Remove the gas tank's bolts with your socket wrench, then slide it off and place it to the side. Take care not to spill any fuel in the process.
- 4). Find the Yard Machines snow blower's carburetor bowl at the bottom left of the engine. It's bowl-shaped design is distinctive. Place a pan under the bowl.
- 5). Loosen and remove the nut on the underside of the bowl. Fuel will drain out of the carburetor. Do not remove the pan until all the fuel has drained out.
- 6). Twist off the now loose Yard Machines carburetor bowl. Clean out the bowl's inside with a cloth and a carburetor cleaning solution.
- 7). Use a wire brush to scrub the bowl's nut with carburetor cleaning solution.
- 8). Reassemble the Yard Machine's carburetor bowl and the snow blower by following your steps in reverse.
