Murray Snowblower Carburetor Parts

Murray Snowblower Carburetor Parts

The carburetor is often the culprit when your Murray snowblower won't start, runs rough, or sputters during use. Ethanol in modern fuel damages the carburetor's delicate internal parts — clogging jets, corroding the needle valve, and gumming up the float. A carburetor rebuild kit is usually all you need, but if yours is severely corroded, a full OEM replacement ensures your snowblower fires up reliably when winter weather hits.

Use your Murray model number to find the exact carburetor assembly or rebuild kit. We carry genuine OEM carburetors for single-stage and two-stage Murray snowblowers across decades of production.

• Won't start or hard to start: Carburetor flooded or jets clogged from stale fuel
• Runs lean or rough: Needle valve stuck or fuel passages blocked
• Sputters then dies: Float not feeding fuel correctly into bowl
• Black smoke: Running too rich; needle adjustment or float issue
• Fuel leaking from carb: Float stuck open or gasket deteriorated

Enter your snowblower model number to confirm the correct carburetor type and order the OEM part or rebuild kit your Murray needs.

Murray Snowblower Carburetor FAQs

Why does my Murray carburetor need replacing every season?

Modern ethanol-blend fuel is hard on carburetors. Ethanol absorbs water and corrodes brass and aluminum inside the carburetor — clogging the main jet, needle valve, and fuel passages. If your Murray sat all summer with fuel in the tank, the carburetor is likely varnished and clogged. A carburetor rebuild kit cleans internal parts and replaces gaskets and seals. For severe corrosion, order a full OEM carburetor assembly instead.

Can I use a universal carburetor on my Murray snowblower?

Universal carburetors are risky. Murray carburetors have specific fuel inlet ports, choke linkage fitment, and internal passages matched to your engine model. An aftermarket or universal carb may fit mechanically but deliver wrong fuel-air mixture, cause flooding, or simply not start. Always use the OEM Murray carburetor or rebuild kit for your model number — it costs only a few dollars more and help ensure proper operation.

How do I know if my Murray carburetor is bad or just dirty?

Try starting fluid first. Spray a short burst into the intake and try to start — if it fires briefly, the fuel system (likely the carburetor) is starved. If it won't fire even with starting fluid, the ignition is the problem. For confirmed carburetor issues, try a rebuild kit before ordering a full replacement. Remove the carburetor, soak the metal body in carburetor cleaner, and install new gaskets, seals, and the needle valve from the kit. If the metal body is corroded white or the needle seat is pitted, order the full OEM carburetor assembly.

What's included in a Murray carburetor rebuild kit?

OEM rebuild kits include gaskets, O-rings, the needle valve and seat, float, and sometimes the fuel bowl gasket. They do not include the main metal carburetor body. A rebuild kit is a $15 to $40 repair; a full carburetor assembly runs $60 to $120. If you're handy and the metal body is sound, a kit saves money. If your carburetor is heavily corroded or you're unsure about disassembly, buy the full OEM carburetor — it comes pre-assembled and ready to bolt on.

Murray Snowblower Model Number: Where to Look

On Murray snowblowers, look for the model number under the handle panel, on the frame behind the engine, or on the auger housing. It may appear on a sticker or metal identification plate, so wipe away dirt and copy every letter and number exactly. Enter that code in the model number search bar to narrow the complete Murray snowblower parts catalog to parts that fit your entire machine, including the carburetor and other systems. If the label is worn or hard to read, take a clear photo before cleaning it. A precise model match helps you order confidently and avoid compatibility mistakes.
