Hey guys, Boy will I be glad once spring comes after this harsh winter.
Since there has already been 5 feet of snow in the central Ohio area so far this year I decided to get a snow blower. Found an ad for a Toro S-200 2 cycle so I emailed the guy. Turns out he didn't want anything for it but just wanted it gone. He started it up for me & I was able to hear it run. Told me the spark plug was rather old since he never replaced it so I got another one for it. Found out it wasn't even the right plug. The snow blower starts but doesn't exactly run right. The choke is cable isn't exactly free so the knob is always pulled out. Gotta take a look at it to see what is causing it. The idle goes high, then low so I'm not too sure what's causing that. Considering the age of the unit I figure at least a carb rebuild is in order on it. I have the original manual so I'm going to locate a kit for it & get it running right.
Not familiar with 2 cycle engines so we will see what happens when I get to tinkering with the thing. Hopefully come next snow fall it will be running well enough to use!
