Used for three or four years from around 2001 thru 2004. Residential use only around my home. I moved to North Carolina in 2004 and the blower has been sitting quietly stored in the basement. When stored, the fuel tank was drained, and the engine run until it stopped from fuel starvation to clear the fuel lines and carburetor of fuel. I always ran 93 octane to minimize ethanol content in the fuel. I also always used a good 2-cycle oil mixed at 40:1 opposed to 50:1 to help protect the cylinder wall.
I no longer have a need for it, and am offering it for anyone interested.
It is in like new condition, and works extremely well at moving snow. It will typically throw snow anywhere between 15' and 30' depending on the moisture content. I was very pleased with it the few times I used it.
