NHsnowman's last  
best brand

Hi all,

Just curious, what brand of snowblower do you think is the best and most reliable. I learned my lesson a while back with getting what turned out to be an unrelaible machine. Since people on here seem to know quite a bit about snowblowers i thought I would solicit opinions.

Thanks

Well I feel pretty stupid but I was actually reading the choke control wrong.

I have always had machines where far right is no choke and on this one that is full choke. So when I looked at the symbol of course I saw a symbol for no choke (vertical symbol) when it was actually the symbol for choke (diaganol symbol).

So there I was starting it without choke (and it started great by the way), letting it warm up and then choking it out.  Thankfully I decided to re read the instructions more closely and figured out my dumb mistake pretty much right away.

Live and learn I guess.

HI all, Just thought I would throw out an update on my new machine. Went back and re read my manual and figured out what I was doing wrong and it has run like a champ ever since. I have to say it just feels better made than the sears machine it is replacing. Even got to test it out on a nice powdery 6" snowfall and it threw it 50'+.

 Tonight/tommorow will be it's true test though 6-10" of heavy wet snow, (going to put us over 100" for the year). 

 As I said just wanted to update so as the machine didn't get a bad rap for my stupid error.

Question about Stabil fuel preservative

Hi,

I had a question about stabil fuel stabilizer/preservative. Doe the stabil itself ever go bad? I have a bottle that is about 4 yrs old and is half used but i dont know if there is a limit to how long it is good for.

Also can it do any harm to use gas with stabil in it all season long (ie trat my gas that is in the can)? Now that I have a new snowblower that actually works I want to do all I can to keep it that way.

Thanks

Also one last question.

Does it do any harm to the machine to run it with the choke slightly on?

Thanks for all the info.
