this is the closest newsgroup I could find for this. anyway I recently
aquired an old yardman snowbird snowblower 3hp 20 inch. not in running
condition. My dad was trying to get it to run better and got the carb
settings wayyyy off. does anybody have a suggestion on carb settings.
otherwise I'm just gonna start at about 2 turns out for each and go from
there.

Not even gonna say what kind of engine?

With zero information, I'd guess 1-1/4 turns. I have never seen a small

Look in the phone book for small engine repair. Get a pro to fix it.
You probably got it for nothing, so spend a few bucks to get it running.
