Then, why does my snowblower pull to the right?

Usually when a snow blower pulls one way or the other it is because of the air pressure in the tire. Make sure the pressure in the tires is equal. If the right tire has less air, it is smaller than the left and will pull to the right.

How tight should a snowblower belt be?

When It's engaged, it should be fairly tight. It may or may not have an adjustment to tighten the belt when needed. One thing to look at is if your belt is old, it may have worn the sides of it enough to actually drop the belt farther into the pulley which could cause slipping under snow loads.

What causes a Tecumseh engine to surge?

Surging. If the governor surges up and down, then the problem may be a plugged carburetor, a plugged idle circuit or a worn linkage. If you check these components and see that they work properly, then the set of the governor may be too sensitive. This means that it reacts too quickly and overcompensates for the speed.
