Well, i was given a nice old snow blower/thrower, by a neighbor last Sunday! He even wheeled it up to my house--he's a "bull moose"!

So, after i put in new gas, cleaned the spark plug, oi;ed the chain and other stuff, i turned on the gas, pushed the primer bulb several times, plugged in the electric start cord to house current, and tried it. After several minutes of work, it suddenlt started!! And--took off into the garage, at full speed! It seemes to have a problem with the pointer on the gear shift lever! Any way, i finally knocked the wire off the spark plug, but not before it ate up my shop vacuum cannister, a bag of shop-dry, several cans of bolts, and whatever else happened to be there!

After getting over the shock, and getting it shut off, i suddenly remembered my cousin saying he wants a snow blower, so i called him and told him i'd be bringing it up soon! Although, i told him--when he starts it up, be sure the garage door is open and nothing that it can run over or chew up is in the way!
