WHY DOESN'T MY SNOWBLOWER BLOW SNOW
On 2019-01-13 1:37 a.m., Brian Gaff wrote:
OK so you want a serious answer? If its dry snow, snow blowers work well, ie the powdered stuff. It does have some adaptation for ice as has been eluded to , but wet snow is a bit like mud against sand. It clumps together and is also a lot heavier and so is not going to go so far. If you used to get snow that was dry, and now get snow that is damp then that is global warming for you. You may need to invest in a shovel as we do here in the UK as much of the time our snow is wet, and you do not see many snow blowers about mainly as they don't work very well on wet snow. Brian i live just outside of alaska there's no such thing as wet snow , even the humidity here is only 20% everything is dry |

That takes out two seats per motor unit. For an event that happens once per decade it isn't worth it. Andy |

We almost never have the right sort of snow and when we do the entire country grinds to a standstill with just 10cm. Preference here is for a shaped piece of metal on the front of a tractor to act as a snow plough since that will also shift soggy wet snow. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

There's plenty of overlap between people that diy & engine repair & restoration. And he's now got the info that muck in the carb is the most common cause. Sounds like a win. NT |
