Troubleshooting tips for your Haban gas snowblower when it won't stay running
If your engine only runs for a few seconds and then shuts off, you could have a gummed-up carburetor. The engine probably starts because gas enters the cylinder when you press the primer bulb. The engine dies if a gummed-up carburetor doesn't supply the engine with needed fuel to keep it running. Rebuild or replace the carburetor if the engine dies soon after start-up. A carburetor rebuild kit has the seals, gaskets and other parts you need to rebuild the carburetor. Use the carburetor rebuild kit for the carburetor on your engine. Sometimes, it's easier to replace the entire carburetor rather than rebuilding it.
How to fix your Haban gas snowblower when its chute won't turn
Clear the snowblower chute if snow build-up prevents the chute from turning. Inspect the drive mechanism of the chute direction system and remove any foreign objects caught in the drive system.
If the drive system is clear, adjust the cable, shaft or gears that move the chute. Replace the chute control box or 4-way chute control assembly if those components won't turn the chute. Our video on how to troubleshoot snowblower chute problems also has tips to help fix the problem.
