Matt - I know it's a little too late now, but we may still have some winter left.Those motors are real simple, I got an old Ariens for free cause it wouldn't run - and it kicks a** now.Get yourself a coil,set of points, and a carb kit.Pull the flywheel and replace the coil/points and then do the carb.That is really all there is to these engines barring any serious internal damage.

billybob-

Thanks for the tip. When my landlord gets back from Telluride, I am telling him to take the damn thing to shop for a tuneup.

Final tally for Boston was 29inches....I shoveled 4 times yesterday and again this morning. I eventually made it in to work at 11:00 am.

Beats sitting home watching Oprah, right?
