checko 180 Posted December 31, 2013 I might actually take the snowblower out of the shed. It was given to me two years ago, and i have yet to use it. Nows the time to check to see if it works Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AS350Driver 56 Posted December 31, 2013 Nows the time to check to see if it works It worked when my next door neighbor gave it to me, and the fuel had been drained. I will check it anyway, I have gas and two-cycle oil so i'm good with that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It must be an old one, I don't believe there are any two-stroke snowblowers in production, or have been in production in the last 10 years or longer. Two-stage don't use oil-gas mix.

voyager9 3,434 Posted December 31, 2013 http://www.erh.noaa.gov/phi/briefing/packages/current_briefing.pdf Since when is 4-6" a major storm? Back in Maine this wouldn't even cancel school. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malsua 1,422 Posted December 31, 2013 It is older and a small single stage, but it was free so i'm not complaining. Free is good! As a note, the storm looks like everyone in NJ gets some, northern folks like me can get 6+. The next one moving in may end up as rain...better than 2 feet!

Porthole 15 Posted December 31, 2013 By the way, in addition to the Facebook site, what weather sites do you all trust? I bounce between weather.com and news. For simple weather I use this http://www.my-cast.com/#07719,+NJ And I have the paid app for my phone. Been using it for 5-6 years now. IOS version: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-cast-weather-radar/id348779486?mt=8 I also pay for the the severe weather subscription. Great to have, either on the boat or motorcycle to see where the lightning strikes are. NOAA is fairly accurate, though the website is ugly. I believe Weather Underground primarily uses data from NOAA. Most weather sites use the NOAA info, as well as the Doppler RADARs Yeah this guy is pretty legit...his Sandy predictions were insanely accurate. Anyone who spends a little bit of time looking at the weather maps and RADAR can predict just as well as the TV guys. And a wife with a bad back can usually predict the weather almost as well without looking at the TV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bhunted 887 Posted December 31, 2013 Since when is 4-6" a major storm? Back in Maine this wouldn't even cancel school. Didn't here when were kids either. But when there is nothing to talk about in the media, 1" is a major Nor'easter... Better buy out all bread and milk! Sent from John's iPad 2 via Tapatalk HD Typos courtesy Apple...

HBecwithFn7 296 Posted January 1, 2014 We could use a good snowstorm, and I am ready. But since when is 4-6 inches a good snowstorm? I'm good without one.

BigBlueQ 7 Posted January 1, 2014 Anyone know where i can get a fuel bowl gasket in north jersey Bergen County? #951-11589 for a troy bilt. Try http://www.nationallawnequipment.com/ in Mahwah, off Rt 17 north next to Home Depot. I don't know if they carry your brand there, but I just picked up some carriage bolts and nuts for my Craftsman. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
