  If your MTD Snow Blower engine is running erratically, it might be due to the engine running on CHOKE, stale fuel, water or dirt in the fuel system, a carburetor out of adjustment, or the engine being over-governed. Try moving the choke lever to the RUN position, fill the tank with clean, fresh fuel, or drain the fuel tank and refill it with fresh fuel.

  An MTD Snow Blower engine might run erratically due to several reasons: 1. Check if the engine is running on CHOKE; if so, move the choke control to the OFF position. 2. Stale fuel can cause issues; replace it with clean, fresh gasoline. 3. Water or dirt in the fuel system can also be a culprit; drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel. 4.
