Living with a snow blower 196cc/212cc carburetor
The fuel path is where a machine that ran perfectly in March fails in November. Ethanol blended fuel absorbs water, and water sits at the bottom of a tank all summer.
It is listed under Parts and Accessories. The engine displaces 196 cc. The stock number is 170430048-0001. The figure is $6.97, quoted the way every price on this site is quoted, in Canadian dollars.
The numbers
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Stock number | 170430048-0001 |
| Engine | 196 cc |
| Category | Parts and Accessories |
| Price | $6.97 CAD |
| Ships | Canada wide |
The listed price is $6.97 CAD and that is the figure you pay, because the stock is already in the country. Stock moves quickly once the snow starts, which is the only real argument for ordering early.
Identifying the correct component
If you are cross referencing an old component, compare the stamping against 170430048-0001 before ordering. Component changes rarely make it into the marketing, only into the parts diagram.
Renew the gasket rather than reusing a compressed one. Blow passages through with compressed air rather than poking them with wire.
Diagnosis before ordering saves a return, and the snow blower repair guide is written for exactly that. Where a fitment is genuinely ambiguous we will say so rather than take the order and hope.
Buying, shipping and returns
The listed price is $6.97 CAD and that is the figure you pay, because the stock is already in the country. Parcel delivery on small components, free freight once the order passes $999. shipping and delivery has the detail.
The return window and the freight rules are on returns and refunds. What is covered and what is treated as wear is set out on the warranty policy.
The contact page is the fastest route to a straight answer on fitment. Consumer rights when buying a snow blower 196cc/212cc carburetor in Canada, above any retailer policy, are set out by Consumer Protection Ontario.
How to change it
Disconnect the spark plug lead before anything else. It costs five seconds and removes the whole category of accident. Bag the fasteners by stage rather than tipping them into one tin.
Refit with fresh, stabilised fuel rather than the fuel that caused the problem. A side by side check catches the small dimensional differences that photographs never show.
The chute rule is the one that matters: engine off, auger stopped, and the clearing tool rather than a hand. The same rule applies whenever the auger housing is open.
Canadian winters and this part
What a machine meets in the prairies is dry snow that drifts back across the drive behind you, which is a different problem from the national average. Late summer through October is when choice is widest across the whole catalogue.
Freight across the country slows once the first storms arrive, so autumn is when a spare actually reaches you quickly. Thirty year normals for your own station are published free by Environment and Climate Change Canada.

When this is the fault
There is a short list of symptoms here, and most owners recognise at least one of them.
- a float bowl with sediment or water in the bottom
- hesitation under load that was not there last winter
- starting on choke and dying when the choke is opened
- a fuel smell with no start at all
- rough running that clears at full throttle
Machines run dry before storage rarely need this part at all. There is no price advantage in waiting and there is a real availability cost.
Reading the listing
The distinguishing terms here are 196cc, 212cc, carburetor, gasket. Left and right are not interchangeable even when the castings appear symmetrical.
This line is 170430048-0001. The 196 cc figure is engine displacement and it should always be read against the clearing width. Get that right and the rest of the order takes care of itself.
What else to check
A repair is cheapest when everything that needs doing is done at the same time. Have a look at the plug and its cap too. Now is the moment to inspect the seals at every shaft exit. Add the fasteners you have just disturbed to the same inspection.
We hold all of those on snow blower parts, listed by the number stamped on the part. the maintenance checklist sets out the seasonal order to work through them in, and the snow blower repair guide covers what to do when one of them turns out to be the real fault.
Planning ahead for February
Most emergency repairs are emergencies only because the part was not already in the garage. A belt, a pack of shear pins, a set of auger paddles on a single stage machine and a spare scraper bar cover almost every in season failure.
Those parts live on snow blower parts, and the maintenance checklist says when to check each of them. The parts everybody wants in February are the parts that are slowest to arrive in February. An unheated shed is fine. A puddle on a garage floor is not.
Two practical notes on choosing a snow blower 196cc/212cc carburetor. First, match it to the surface before the snowfall, because surface is the constraint that cannot be worked around. Second, a snow blower 196cc/212cc carburetor is only as useful as the wear parts you can get for it in February, which is why the stock numbers on this site matter more than the badge.
If you have owned a snow blower 196cc/212cc carburetor before, you already know the failure points. If you have not, the short version is that a snow blower 196cc/212cc carburetor fails at its consumables and almost never at its castings.
Common questions
What else should I check while it is apart?
Whatever the component touches. Bearings, seals, fasteners and belts are cheap while the assembly is open and expensive once it is closed.
Is a generic equivalent acceptable?
Sometimes, and often not. Pitch, grade, profile and length are all specified. Where a genuine part is unavailable we will say so rather than sell you a guess.
What are the symptoms that this needs replacing?
starting on choke and dying when the choke is opened; a fuel smell with no start at all; rough running that clears at full throttle. Any one of those is worth acting on before the next storm.
Should I buy a spare?
If it is a consumable, yes, and buy it in autumn. The parts everybody needs in February are the slowest to arrive in February.
Will you check the fitment for me?
Yes. Send the machine model, the serial number and a photograph of the old part through the contact page and we will confirm in writing before anything ships.
What tools will I need?
Ordinary metric spanners and sockets cover most of this job, plus a torque wrench if the manual specifies a figure. Nothing here needs a special tool.
