I just rebuilt the carb on a Tecumseh 8hp snowblower engine mounted on a Craftsman frame. It was a 1986 model so it has the adjustable main jet and adjustable idle mixture jet. Screw in both jets to just snug, do not over tighten or you will ruin the jet or the carb. Back out the main jet approximately 2 full turns. It is located on the bottom of the carb float bowel. Back the idle mixture adjust jet out 1 1/4 turns. It is located on the side of the carb and can be accessed through an access hole in the side of the carb shield. It is the lower access hole. Start the engine and let it warm up. Fine tune the main jet by screwing it in until the engine runs rough. Now back it out until the engine runs smoothly at high speed without any choke. You should be good to go. If you wish to adjust the engine speed at low speed set the throttle control lever to just above where it enters the kill switch at the bottom. Now you can adjust the low speed idle by adjusting the screw at the top of the carb right next to the throttle butterfly control. It can be accessed through the top access hole in the side of the carb shield. Turn the screw in (to the right) to increase low idle speed and turn out (to the left) to reduce idle speed. Your engine should now run smoothly at both low and high speed.

Why does 8hp Tecumseh backfire?
Try cleaning the muffler cleaning the carburetor and decarbonizing the engine by disconnecting the PCV hose and running the engine untill it warms up. Run the engine at wide open throttle and trickle two gallons of water down with the air filter off. What this does is builds up a LOT of steam and blows carbon out like magic. Hope this helps!
