Snow blower Chapter 2......
So after the gas line on the 2 stage big blower was repaired....was watching it run...seemed to be running a little ratty unless I run a 1/2 choke.
Noticed the inside of the muffler was glowing.......
Soooooo....either running really lean,
BUT.....the carb has fixed needle, so can't really adjust it.
OR
Burned exhaust valve, blowing by and over heating muffler......
I'm thinking option #2 is the problem.
Now my options....
Do a valve job....haven't done one on a small engine for maybe 30 years and really don't want to spend the time and effort on an older unit 12/14 years maybe?...... knowing that other parts are worn so may have a bad transmission with a new motor.
Run till it drops/stops....(don't like doing that)
Buy a new one......(Most likely.....)
But my across the street neighbor has been coming over and taking care of it......which is nice, but I hate to have to depend on that as a option....I'm kinda a self sufficiently kinda guy.
Have actually held off on a new one... as the plan was to sell the city place and move to "The Place" and least for the summers.
So wouldn't need a snow blower, as the tractor handles the job there.
I guess I just talked my self into a new unit.....LOL
Shopping tomorrow......
The funny part is.....I can see and feel my thinking changing....
The was a time when I would take in project like this...fix them back up and move them along....
Anyone need a project?
