I have that bad boy with the 208cc engine. Big deal we aren't getting any snow. We should be messuring the snow in feet not a few inches. As i look ouside there is no snow and I live in Minnesota.

@kriegmeister3000 Thanks! Same here. NO SNOW yet this season in NH. It's January 11th and the ground is BARE all over the state. But a pretty big storm is to arrive in hours. I sure hope so. I want to ski on real snow, not the frosty junk that comes out of the machines.

Hey nice video! i have a 5.0 HP 21" CRAFTSMAN Dark green snowblower, has a Electric starter if plugged into a outlet. And it hasnt ran since last season...and i filed the cycle gas for it and tried hand starting it but no luck...then i pluged a wire in and used the electric starter..its turns it but when i release the electric starting button it wount keep running...Can you help? Please it will make cleaning snow easier.

@CODxFUNxMAN Change the spark plug. Put some carburator cleaner in the gas. When you do store it for the season, always run the machine out of gas.

Tim,

This was a great informative video for those of us who have never used a snowblower and who need to purchase one. I have been using the old snow shovel for almost twenty years now. It's time I move on from pogo-stick to the Cadillac. Thanks for this video!

@ChefTips Jason, You will LOVE one. Much less work and the results are just as you see in the video. At the end of the season run all the gas out of it so it starts first pull next season.

I look outside and see brown grass and no snow. Here is a news flash we might get another dusting.

@AsktheBuilder I thought that would be a problem the gas has been in there since last season...not too much of it plus now i added some new gas...
