[AT] Snowblowing with the 40

[Mike Sloane]

I know nothing about the Cockshutt machines, but I have found that when 
I need to pull the choke out to keep a warm engine running, it is almost 
always because of a vacuum leak between the carburetor and the block - 
warped carburetor, bad gasket, warped manifold, etc. Sometimes this is 
very hard to locate, but spraying brake cleaner around the suspect areas 
can make the engine speed increase due to the cleaner being sucked in. I 
have also used an *unlit* propane torch in a similar manner.

I assume you have eliminated carburetor icing as a potential issue...
