BLOWEr deserves a thread. Wasn't sure what forum to post it in, but it is technically a motorcycle.

Two wheels and an engine. Checks out as a motorcycle :ohyeah:
AMERICAN AMERICAN
MADE OWNED
I've got a similar looking Craftsman. 8 years old. One or two years I didn't use it (didn't snow enough) but most years use it a few times. This year once so far. I change the oil once a year and dump the old oil at our town dump where there's a "used oil" barrel. I used to dump old gas in that barrel too but the dump man caught me once and chewed me out. So now at the end of the winter season I just run it until it's out of gas. I haven't found a legit place where I can dump old gas.
Oh, I figured out why BLOWER wasn't running for the previous owner. I got it for $110. Fiddled with it a bit. Pulled the spark plug. Found it smashed by the intake valve. Bought the right spark plug. It is 3mm shorter. Hopefully the valve is okay. The spark plug is made of much softer metal.
What ever happened to user:spark plug?
New spork plug, adjust governor linkage, BLOWER runs like a champ. Ready to blow.

You can mix a snowblower's worth of old gas into your car and it will dilute pretty good, as long as it is not really bad gas.
Ok, so this is a blower.

I guess you could use that as a shovel if you flipped it upside down.

Never thought of that. Yeah, that's a great idea for only a few month old gas.
You should put a blower on BLOWER
