toro s200 maximum performance test

I pushed my 1979 toro snowblower to the limit to see just how hard this machine can work. I took this small machine through 8 inches of a packed down wind driven mixture of snow, freezing rain and sleet. This is heavy and you probably wouldnt want to shovel it.

wow is that thing direct drive or is he holding the bardown thats all

[kwacz]

@300Dnikon the padal is always engaged. there is no way to stop it. this was made right before stupid people made it necessary for safety features to be added.

[Olddog231]

he aint blowing deep enough as you can see his footprints look like he is leaving an 1 1/2 inch snow in path

[kwacz]

@Olddog231 that is to protect the lawn from getting damaged walking on it and with the blower digging in. when it freezes, then i just use the solid base as if it were concrete. stays frozen all year long and potects the grass.

geez not strong but really capable for ist size and year

[kwacz]

for its size it is very strong. look at the height of the machine and the snow i am throwing.

A missing toro snowblower ??

It's a 2 stroke engine and you better have the right oil mix in that fresh gas buddy or you get demoted to the hand shovel pretty quick.

hey thers a snowblower like that one in the trash but its all beat to shit. i still wanna take it for parts tho

[redbulljustice99]

anyone know the factory carb setting on these plzz

[idolaw826]

Where is the model number/serial number plate on this? We just bought the same one and don't see the serial number to try to get a manual online for it.. thanks.

What kinda dog is that

[TheMarcJacob200]

I have that same one I'm only 12 and I fixed mine up it only needed a new spark plug and the carb needed to be cleaned and I got it from the dump

[powerking73]

I just picked one up for $30....Had to rebuild the carb and thats it...cant wait to get it out in the snow and try it out!....Only thing i found strage was that the metal cover on the carb is aimed up, so if anything falls down into it, it'll get sucked into the carb. i turned mine down towards the ground

[nickgoedecke]

That is a perfectly tuned Tecumseh. Sounds beautiful. Like a work of art. Do you have 2 adjustment screws on your carburetor? Or 1? I only have 1. What RPM is that thing running at about? Did you put a tachometer on it?

[miketv]

@semtech30 manual says it'll run on a mix anywhere from 32:1 to 100:1....throw a little oil into some gas & it should run. It's a 2-stroke, not a performance engine.

I'm sold....this looks like a solid blower.

[nickgoedecke]

I can't wait to get my S200 going. I tried starting it today and it just sputters and dies. I just rebuilt the whole thing. I'm thinking it's a plugged up muffler. I might cut a section of pipe away and just run "open headers" if I can't get it unplugged. I'll look at the carb again too. At least I have my 4 HP Lawn Boy D400 series powered Gilson Snow Cannon! Now that thing launches the snow REALLY far. It's got a chute, not vanes.

@kwacz i got half w/ safety, half w/o

[veginamonster]
