Snow blower engine start 13 HP Tecumseh

Mid-winter at 5  degrees F the primer & choke come in handy...

Snow blowers really were meant to start cold. Just got a brand new one never run before (except MAYBE once as a test in the factory quick) and it started on the first pussy pull. It was like pulling a rubberband and it started right up without hesitation, and it didn't need choke at all. Damn.

16" impeller is the largest you can get on a walk behind machine AFAIK - the biggest Ariens & Troy-Bilt use it -- as well as the now extinct Gravely. Wish the mfg''s would hook up a 20HP B&S Vanguard to a 20+ impeller. I could use all that power and more...

@RarePlanesDotCom I have a question

Why did you pull the pull cord once slowly (No enough to even start) then right after give it a good solid pull?

Are you trying to get fuel and air into the motor before starting?

[RarePlanesDotCom]

I just pull the cord slowly to get it up on the compression stroke-- extra resistance you can feel. No need to pull through to pre-fuel --it has a primer bulb to do that.

16" impeller is a pretty good sized impeller. My little 1984 24" Ariens only has a 10", and I thought I did good with a 12" impeller on my new 22" Ariens, lol.

The new machines definitely have a lot of nice design improvements over the old machines, or I would have just fixed my old 1984 model.

I have the same one "nice" :-)

Is this the 45" 13 HP "4 wheel" (tire) machine?

[RarePlanesDotCom]

13 HP 33" 2 tire 16" impeller...does a great job of throwing snow, slush blobs, ice chunks, and small mammals...
