SAE 10w30 Synthetic oil.
Tecumseh made most, Briggs and Straton engines were used, but not many.
usually a lean fuel mixture due to a dirty carb jet or vacuum leak
Sounds like u have carburetor problems!
Tecumseh made an engine called the Snow King, which was used on many snow-blowers made by different manufacturers. I do also remember a blower under the name Snow King that was made by a long gone manufacture.
I have at 1990's TRS 27 snowblower- It's an 8 HP Tecumseh
The best Ariens snow blowers are the older models with the Tecumseh engine. Tecumseh was the largest manufacture of small engines in North America but were bought out and sold on Dec.15, 2008. Another company bought the rights to it and still makes parts for the engines. Now Ariens uses China engines. I still use my 1976 Ariens Snow blower with the Tecumseh on it. Its built to last and last. All metal construction and starts on the first pull. So your best bet is to find a older Ariens (pre- 2008).
Its most likely going to be your carb. The needle and seat can be sticking and allowing fuel to flow all the time as opposed to when it is needed. Try to get a rebuild kit for the carb and try it again.
You get the snow blower from Greg's Garage.
A snow blower should blow snow about 50 feet n average.
generally when you have fuel in your crankcase it is due to dirt in the needle and seat of the carb allowing fuel to continue to flow through the needle and seat past the valves and into the cylinder. try cleaning the carb and possibly putting in a kit
It is under the cover between the blower and the motor.
