When we do get snow here it is often big with a Noreaster. But looks to be mostly rain this time.....maybe an inch or two before changeover. Snowblower will sit again and wasn't running too good anyway....think I have some carb issues with old gas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildboer Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 4-5” so far here and the roads are a shit show, they’ve got all night to catch up for the morning churchgoers though. Jury’s still out on whether or not I’m getting called in to work a Sunday morning special 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know...got this one last year from one of my customers on route real cheap. Never used it yet and always meant to drain the gas but never got around to it. I admit I'm bad....maintain my sleds about the same way. Shit, rather than messing and cleaning the carb I can get a new carb from Amazon for about 15 bucks.... Just swap it out and I'm good to go I did that on my other snow blower Might try and fire it up tomorrow a.m. But only a few inches and super wet probably just get clogged in the chute. 34 minutes ago, Wildboer said: 4-5” so far here and the roads are a shit show, they’ve got all night to catch up for the morning churchgoers though.

Sold my sled end of last season, looking for a used sled but it's not a priority at the moment, probably take this season off and pick something up going into next season. Planning on moving in the spring, so thinking of looking after I'm done with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
