Those Tecumseh engines are known for running a little uneven. They are also known for having mostly plastic carbs. Since Tecumseh went out of business, about the only replacement carbs are cheap Chinese-made carbs, that are usually as bad as, if not worse then the originals.
If you can not make it run well enough to throw snow, then fitting it with a replacement engine is about your only choice. As a rule of thumb, replacement parts availability for the Tecumsehs, is iffy at best.
Too bad, as at one time many years ago, those were the best snow thrower engines on the market.
