Wrecked old Ariens snow blower victim of engine fire! Restored 8hp 1979 Snowblower blasting snow!

Описание: Let's go! Regardless of condition, If you own one of these you are in luck! Un-stoppable. This monstrous old 1979 Ariens 32 inch snowblower model 924042 Ariens dump picked snowblower has a 6 blade impeller, big wheels, and it weighs a ton. It is built like a battle ship. A number of broken parts and evidence of an engine fire almost sealed its fate....But I pulled it from a shallow grave. Still in my truck, It spits fire and actually sputters to life. In the end, it cleaned up and came together quite nicely! Sure, there is some surging, but what can you expect from a toasted original carburetor? (I eventually fixed the surging with a replacement carb)
The pinnacle of Ariens engineering in my book! Cost me near nothing. Out of the flames, I named it "The Phoenix". My newest favorite!
Here is a time stamp of events:
0:00-1:59 It's in the truck. Going over it. Should it stay or should it go?
1:59-2:56 Spray in a little starting fluid to see what happens
2:56-3:55 Intake and exhaust- what a mess. Hooked up the fuel line to test.
3:55-4:56 Still in the truck. Spitting Fire! Blue flame. Lots of fun :)
4:56-5:50 Evidence points to an engine fire as demise? What do you think?
5:50-6:34 Pulled shrouds and stuff off to fix primer line. Prime & paint
6:34-7:57 Starting to clean up a bit! Carb, exhaust, shrouds, broken handlebar- fixed.
7:57-8:44 Back together! Overview of 924042 controls and features
8:44-9:15 Look at this next to a Craftsman 8.5 hp snow blower!
9:15-10:24 Start her up cold! Warm it up and.... engage!
10:24-13:57 It's a blizzard out there!! Let's put my new machine to work!!
