If the engine stops when you engage the auger on your Craftsman snowblower, it could be due to a few reasons. One possibility is that the auger is overloaded, causing the engine to stall; this can happen if the auger encounters a large amount of snow or ice. Additionally, there may be an issue with the drive belt or a blockage in the auger mechanism, which can create excessive strain on the engine. Lastly, check for low oil levels or a malfunctioning governor, as these can also lead to engine shutdowns under load.

For a 9HP 27 Craftsman snowblower, it's recommended to use a high-quality non-detergent oil, typically SAE 30 or 10W-30, suitable for outdoor equipment. Always check the owner's manual for specific oil recommendations, as this can vary by model. Ensure the oil is designed for use in cold temperatures to maintain optimal performance during snow removal. Regularly check and change the oil as needed to keep the auger functioning properly.
