Rhode Island Grinding Service Wish i saved the receipt. Guy said gas line needed to be replaced bc of new gasoline, needed new starter in both, replaced blade on the torro, and rebuilt carbs on both. I paid the bill. :( I happy with results. Run wide open? You mean throttle up and choke down? how can i increase the rpm? the throttle is always high! When i place in a higher gear it throws further but i have problems keeping the front end down.
2 Stage Ariens ST724 vs single stage CCR 2450 Torro "Question for the master guru"

I have two snow blowers, a 2 stage Ariens ST724 and a single stage CCR 2450 Torro. Spoiled, yes I know. The Ariens is great for the big stuff, deep snow, specifically at the end of the driveway where the plows leave the crappy stuff. The Ariens will eat right threw it, however, it is $#%*bersome, heavy, and does not do a good job scrapping the snow down to the surface of the pavement. This is where the single stage Torro shines, the blade literally scratches the pavement and rips up ice and ruts leaving you a clean driveway. The Torro throws snow 20 plus feet, easily, and is easy to maneuver. With a little sun, you will always have the cleanest driveway in the neighborhood. Both have electric start which makes life so much easier. Both had a major tune ups last year, costing me $800. carbs were rebuilt, belts greased, oil changes, filters replaced, blades changed, etc. Odd part, the Torro throws the snow much further than the Ariens. Can I, and if so, how can I get the Ariens to throw the snow further? It has the bigger engine and is the beast of the two. Yes, if i place the throttle to its highest speed on the Ariens the snow will go further but the negative is it really does not scrape the snow off the ground. I end up exerting too much energy on placing all my weight on the bars to keep the front down close to the ground. Where as the Torro just pulls you and throws the snow. Any ideas on how to increase the snow throwing distance of the Ariens? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1874301856425&set=a.1872286166034.2115194.1207539249
