Additional Information
The snowblower chute neck, part number 722303, forms the connection between the auger housing and the discharge chute. It helps direct snow upward and toward the desired throwing direction as you operate the snowblower.
If snow fails to reach the chute, throws at inconsistent heights, or scatters unpredictably during use, the chute neck may be misaligned, bent, or worn. Visible damage, gaps between the chute and housing, or vibration at the chute area can also indicate issues with the chute neck.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The chute neck installs between metal housing and chute components, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the chute neck sits flush and seals properly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
