I just recently stumbled onto one of these. Needs carb work, but i don’t expect that to be too tough. But i think I see a problem coming. I’m missing just about all of the screws and bolts that hold the plastic covers on the engine. Anyone have a decent solution? Some appear to be short and standard, but some have to have quite a long spacer to go through some of the plastic. I’m guessing there is t any kind of installation package.
After some ridicule from family based on where I live and why do I think I need a snowblower, I finally got to put it to use last night and today. Thing is a tank. I didn’t have any sheer pins at the time so best I could come up with was a long nail with both ends bent in. I know that isn’t recommended and will fix that problem before I use it next time. I didn’t have much trouble other than the nails breaking. Managed fairly well through some 6-8 inches of somewhat wet snow. I didn’t even put the covers all back on it yet. Just enough so the gas tank wouldn’t fall off while in use.
Dumb question I may have already asked in a different place. If you want to use the electric start, do you have to plug it in each time or does it build an electrical charge while in use so you can shut it off then hit the button to start once warmed up? I just pulled the cord today and that works fine. Pulls nice and easy and fires right up with no hesitation.
Yes. There is no battery to receive a charge, the plug goes directly to the starter.
