Because your main jet is the lowest jet (vertically speaking), it is most likely to have been gummed up by oxidizing fuel in the carburetor bowl.

Clear out the obstruction and reassemble. [links]

The joys of using Ryobi tools is that they are relatively inexpensive, have interchangeable batteries between the tools, and are durable enough for a weekend warrior. Every once in a while though.

Luckily, this is an easy fix and you can probably take care of it without removing your carburetor. more

It's a bit older and other than having to leave the choke on, it works just fine. Any idea what I might need to check out?

[farmer]

you may have use carb cleaner on it or take the snowblower in for maintenance. [links]

[foxhunter]

Here's what you do, go to your local auto parts store and purchase a can of GUNK carb and choke cleaner, locate idle mixture screw on side of carb, turn in the mixture screw slowly while counting the number of turns when it bottoms out, write this down, now unscrew it fully, attach the little red plastic nozzle to the carb cleaner can and judiciously spray the idle mixture port, reinstall idle mixture screw until it bottoms, now turn it out the number of times you counted, start engine, let it warm for a minute and turn of choke, if it still dies then follow the next step.

I have a snow blower that works just fine when the choke is on. However as soon as I go to turn off the choke, it dies. It's not a style that has the gas and oil mixed together and is a 7 HP motor I believe. more

so an n.t. carb. you close the choke to choke it when cold starting, and then open the choke all the way once it's warmed up. it should run excellent with the choke open. [links]

First of all, what carb do you have?
Yes the engine is supposed to run with the choke fully off (or open).
If you have an n.t. carb, the choke will be a simple, old style plate that opens and closes at the inlet of the carb. If you have to close the choke, it's telling you that you are getting too much air (making it run too lean). When you close the choke on an n.t. carb you are restricting the amount of air that the carb sucks in. The choke plate actually blocks the carb inlet.
less air means that it will run rich for cold start ups.
if it's an n.t., there is no air-fuel adjustment screw. just an idle screw. more

not getting enough gas. Probably your idle mixture screw needs to be turned out allowing more fuel.

[nicecook12]

on the cns carb. you open the choke to choke it when cold starting and then close the choke all the way once it's warmed up. It should run excellent with the choke closed. [links]

[fantomas]

If you have a cns carb. then the choke on this carb works backwards from the n.t. style carb. On the cns carb, when you choke it, you are actually opening the choke (which is just a brass shaft that slides up & down on the side of the carb inlet.) when you open the choke on a cns carb, it allows more gas to be sucked into the carb to make it run richer for cold start ups. more gas added to the air flow will make it run rich for easier cold start ups.
if it's a cns carb, then yes, there will be an air-fuel adjustment screw that you will have to play with.
