On my Craftsman snowblower, when I try to engage the auger, I get a screeching sound. The augers do not rotate and the engine either cuts out or starts to misfire. If I do not try to engage the auger, the engine runs perfectly, so I presume the cutting out is due to the load of the auger not rotating. Any suggestions as to what the problem could be are appreciated.

4 Sounds like the tension wheel is to tight when you squeeze the auger lever. Try loosening the tension wheel and back it off a little. Should be a 1 bolt adjustment.
