I have an older Spirit 8hp which is about in its grave. I have found that it is necessary to have the chope slightly or moderately open when getting her warmed up. If you keep it open too long I think you bleed out the gas. I had to experiment with mine to see how it reacted to adjusting it while starting and operating. trial and error.

Chokes can be really picky on small engines. You almost always have to have it full on to start,then reduce to half in a minute or so, then almost off when running. In cold conditions, such as when snowblowing, you may need to close choke a little to increase richness of the mixture.

Yes, the choke should be on when starting a snow blower. Once the engine has warmed up and is running smoothly, the choke can be gradually turned off.
