    Soooo many people who bring me things to fix think they actually know what's going on. They can be pretty convincing sometimes as well. You talking about if they knew they wouldn't be there hits hard. I gotta try and keep that in mind. It's so true too. Most of the time I get to looking at whatever it is and it is usually a simple diagnosis and repair and you can see they just replaced the first things google said to replace before replacing something was too expensive to justify it. Then they bring it here and in an hour it's going again. 😂 those are either the most cake jobs or the worst cause they fumble it and mess up everything they touch along the way. This ol gal was definitely neglected for quite the time. Good work as always. Keep it up

  • @jamesspash5561

    At the prices of the new junk snow blowers, it's well worth putting some money in those older better made units. Especially if it has the older adjustable carbs like that one. Run the fuel out dry at the end of the season and store out of the weather and they will last forever. In my experience, run mixed fuel. The left over oil will help save the carb.

    • @patjohnson3100
      @patjohnson3100 15 днів тому +3

      I always mix 1 oz. of Gumout per gallon of gas on my 4 stroke power equipment. Keeps the carb clean. Then drain gas at the end of the season. I dont have a problem. If you dont do anything else at the end of a usage season, you need to at least drain the gas.

    Hey Taryl if you read this I have good story. I bought a new log splitter in July. Came fitted with a Krohler 6.5Hp sh series engine. Run time on engine is 1 1/2 hrs. Final time I ran was around Halloween for about 20min. Ran fine nothing weird. Shut it down drained tank and carb bowl for winter. Someone brought me rounds to split and I got the splitter out. Poured fuel in. Pulled starter cord to rotate to TDC to start it. It appeared to have zero compression. Pulled over again thinking is imagining it. Same thing. Get my compression tester out, sure enough zero compression. Pop valve cover off exhaust valve stuck open. Brand new engine. Krohler warranty these engines 2yrs residential but I had to take it to their official service center. Still waiting to hear from them. I didn't want to pull head since it was under warranty. I'm guessing the exact moment I shut it down back in October the valve spring failed and piston kissed the valve just enough to bend it to stick open. Im sure u have you experienced this?

    My 1982 Airens ST824 is still going strong. I take the belly pan off every season and grease all the fittings. Only issue is the lower part of the auger chute is rusting away due to the salty Wisconsin snow pushed on the end of the driveway. I needed to adapt a different scraper bar a few years ago.

  • @2StrokeDriptroit
    @2StrokeDriptroit 14 днів тому

    I miss the unique resonant tone of a Tecumish muffkin and working on them! I know the carbitrater stuff by heart, and I consider these the “small block Chevy of small engines! They kick Breaks and Scrap’em to the curb! As long as ya run ethanol free gas and a good grade of oil and NEVER over speed them so Uncle Rodney (connecting rod) doesn’t make an exit through the block they will run. Every time! Also, I like to be certain the throttle shaft isn’t gummed up because, like a Detroit diesel 2 stroke, with a stuck rack from sitting a long time, and it it is always in full fuel position, starting it might cause a nasty over speed condition, since small engines are always in full fuel position, wide open when off because of the governor spring, so a gummed, sticky throttle shaft will over speed it like the Detroit with a stuck rack. Another thing to be wary of is valve seat recession causing exhaust valves to not seat fully. They will run bad and get the muffkin red or even orange hot from combustion gases leaking past the exhaust valves to not, and this can burn the valve and seat fast! It must be addressed immediately if these symptoms above mentioned! Glad to see these increasingly collected as vintage engines still in regular use!! The Power Products division 2 strokes were awesome little engines, and sounded great! Cheers Taryl and Jr!!

  • @pgmurray76
    @pgmurray76 15 днів тому

    That's a nice unit. It reminds me of a belt drive Allis-Chalmers snowthrower for their tractor. Ok, it is the orange color. Engine leaked, but it ran for more than 20 years. I loved the orange color and vertical, perforated orange steel grille folded with 3 or 4 channels. A shame it disappeared in 1999. Ariens snowthrowers are the only ones I recommend aisde from the big, bad, tracked, superior Hondas.

    That Ryobi air compressor is on sale for $25 at Home Depot right now.
    Normally $40. Worth every penny.

    Older Ariens?
    Tecumseh Snow King?
    Hell yeah! It's worth it. Seen how expensive new ones are?
    Quality has gone south too.

      Yep I'll keep my early 90s Snapper as long as I can. It would cost me well over a 1k to get something comparable. It can be annoying sometimes keeping it going but I'm getting my moneys worth considering I only paid 350 for it about 8 years ago.
