when I put the car back in the garage later I need to move it forward another two inches, which is all there's left.
in order to get snow blower out while car is still in garage has to clear left rear corner of car, and I sure don't want to scratch
anything squeezing by. Of course I could pull the car out first but then you have that set of pressed down tracks to deal with.
I have such a small driveway unless we get a foot of snow it's pretty easy to do.
assuming the snow blower starts, and I did run it a month ago. Not sure how much gas is left in it, trying to run it low, then fill with fresh gas and some new stabil. With the little use I've had, and with efi it doesn't' burn much gas, might be remnants of four or five year old gas in it.
my John Deere lawn mowers Kawasaki 23 engine has a very cold heart.
it's never warm, even after I mow on restart sometimes have to use the choke.
But it pops and chugs for a while trying to warm up and it absolutely will stall if I engage the mower before it warms
up a little. I wonder if it is running a little lean.
anyone a whiz at adjusting a Kawasaki carb?
versus the snowblower which when I turn the key, no matter what the temp, that
efi engine starts and just runs smoothly immediately. I let it warm up a little of course because engine is splash lube
and cold oil (I think) takes a little while to get everywhere it needs to.
Perhaps I'm old school on that but I hate to see engines race when they are cold.
in hindsight wished I had gone with an EGO or other cordless snowblower for my little drive.
But as long as that weird efi battery stays charged, the EFI seems tolerant of both the cold and crappy gas.
I usually don't even plug the cord in to start, just turn the knob to on and pull the manual handle twice and it always fires right up.
I wonder who makes that engine. The throttle control is this marvelous rotary control, like a big rheostat. I usually run it well below full speed
and it has enough torque to handle most stuff that way.
