I have a 14 year old MTD 2 stage snowblower that I did some work to in the off season (replaced carb, fuel lines, spark plugs, belts and cosmetic work). The snowblower starts right up and seems to run very well with a lot of power in idle and under very light snow. As soon as I get into a couple inches of snow (this past weekend was very dry and light) the snowblower bogs down and I have to let off the throttle to let the thrower catch up so it does not bog down and die. I do plan on lubricating the discharge chute tonight to eliminate that as a culprit but I am wondering if anyone can offer tuning advice for the machine to be more efficient in deeper snow. This problem is especially frustrating at the bottom of the driveway after the plow comes through. Any advice is so greatly appreciated.
