It was a suggestion being that i've worked on dozens of snowblowers, no need to get angry with me suggesting it's pulsing. When they pulse like that it's either carb related or something isn't set right with th governor. With that being said there is an adjustment to take that out of it, that's it that's all.

@cpgixxer Not angry just trying to get you fired up. The throttle is unbelievably stiff, I bet that throws of the governor or it's not setup perfect to begin with, it does even out and eventually I fine tune with the choke lever. Either way I run it at less than full power and it works great. The Toro you have posted looks good the Noma with the Honda engine does'nt look like it working right, or could be working better, you mentioned something about the belts but did'nt see a diff vid on it

Something not right there, it's pulsing.

@cpgixxer

It evens out and runs fine under load. Lets see what you got

@vinceleto It was the belt, after I adjusted the tension if blows snow like a champ. The throttle is stiff on mine as well, if it wasn't stiff it wouldn't stay at its position , it's by design. I'll make another one when we get more snow :)

@vinceleto Have a look at my blower, honda GX 240, that's what I got

Evening out and running fine under load- it should run like that not under load.
