Hello members, I have 2 "Ricky" YS240 tb snowblowers that need repairs and maintenance, wich I am planning on doing during summer/fall, but I woul like to find a Service Manual for them. Any ifo about it?. Thanks.

You are not the only one. This seems to be the unicorn in the community.

I just hope, that I have done nothing that has created another problem.

I agree, the Yamaha place has a very low traffic I'd say.
You may be able to look at the schematics of this place and look under transmissions 1 and 2. (you can zoom the schematics)

With all the other projects I have realistically I don't think I'll be able to get to my Rickys this year except to make them somewhat usable (although one of them really is except for the clutch cable that is too tight).

I know the feeling. And yes I have blown up those diagrams and printed them out, but it does not show all the shims that I had. In part, the image of that assembly manual that I believe that you posted, that sold on eBay, would be a gold mine to me. And as the saying goes, a day late and......
