If it has a Tecumseh engine, it might not be a carburetor problem at all. I had similar problems one year and sent the blower in for service. Got it back and had the same problem. Called a mobile small engine service and the fellow replaced the plug, drained about half a cup of oil from the engine and it ran like a top ever since. His advice was to never overfill a Tecumseh engine with oil....even a little bit.

My generator does that somewhat. It's a lever choke and no primer. It's stored inside a shed and I only fire it up once every few months.
I pretty much bring the plug wrench by default, toss some gas in the cylinder and it always starts. Of course, once it's run a bit it will start normally. Since it always works, small inconvenience and I'm good with it.

Yea I think I did too. Have to check and see if KF expired. Just catch quoted text within other people's posts.
In EA's case, cheap/easy would be for him to hire someone to clean the driveway for him.
Better hope not, as obviously you are incapable of diagnosing a simple one cylinder engine. And from the symptoms, there is a very high probability that it all points to one thing. Several posters have already explained it to you. Hint: It ain't a fuel pump.
Yeah, well, if I had 13 wives, the odds are that *one* of them would know how fix small gas engines.... And another would likely know sumpn sumpn about hvac.....
Sheeit, Stormin, we cain't all be as lucky as you....
