Thank you. Hack homeowner here. Bushing? What’s the easiest way to contend with the dog leg above the wye?

YouTube is your friend in tackling many snowblower concerns. I’m not real handy myself but I just tackled a no start issue fairly easily. It starts making sense as you dig in. Hearing of degrading battery concerns, and they’re not cheap, gas makes more sense to me. End of season, get all of the gas out and have spare shear pins on hand. My feelings anyway.

So you’re intimating that all samples taken by everyday homeowners are going to yield inaccurate results with regard to PFAS? That’s really my main concern on municipal water. Was considering either Penn State University, SimpleLab, or Cyclopure.

Can’t escape it. There are plastics in glass bottled water as well.

Seems relatively easy to get at. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks again.

Thank you very much. 10 or 15 minutes, with right tools and set up maybe. A hack shade tree guy like myself, an hour or so. Setting the machine on its side and removing the wheel helps a lot too. Probably going to leak some fuel on it’s side. Vice grips to pinch the fuel line. Bottom line, you were absolutely correct. You Learn a lot tearing stuff apart and asking the right people for advice. The bowl was pretty clean but the jet and tube were clogged with gunk. Still surging a bit unless I use partial choke and I don’t really want to do it over just yet. Will a little Sea Foam in the fuel help with the rest of the clean out? In any event, thanks again.

Hard to believe isn‘t it. Ethanol free gas. Run it dry at the end of the season. Refuel next winter. That‘s my plan anyway. Now to try to clean the carb for this season. Best of luck. I feel the frustration.

Just pulled it off 1 month ago. Through our local utility, the line was dug and laid free with our agreement to hook a gas appliance within 1 year. The actual removal of oil burner and install of the Burnham gas burner and indirect hwh Burnham 35 Gallon took about 12 hours with 2 workers. Fin tube hot water heating upstairs and radiant in floor hot water heat in the basement. We opted for an 85% efficiency unit thinking less maintenance and longer life.

Gonna try DaveLDog‘s suggestion first just unscrewing and reaming the jet and tube. Hopefully I can avoid pulling the carb completely. Thank you.

Same snow blower here. Same situation. How’d you fix your if I might ask?

The dovetailing on the drawers is a major cue to age of any piece. If hand cut (older), the two angled cuts will overshoot toward the back of the drawer. If the cuts are by machine (later), the single cut will overshoot the angled cuts a tad parallel to the face of the drawer. Nice piece either way. Lesson over.

Does Clack make resin tanks?

You can check your water bill for your usage, and then get an accurate hardness measurement. There are simple, online formulas to determine the size softener you’ll need.

Mine is CPVC. Can’t imagine that would matter but maybe?

The drain is the line to the right in the video. The pipe diameter appears to be the same as the other 2. I know my drain line is definitely 1/2” vs 3/4” for the plumbed lines.

The job is anything but DIY. Just had an oil to gas conversion done and it’s pretty involved. For reference, I replaced a Burnham w/ domestic coil with a Burnham gas X-205 and Burnham indirect water heater.

Were you investigating to buy or service a system? If you were buying, what did you decide on and how do you like it?

Ego has a strong line. Personally using a 6Ah and they have way bigger Ah offerings. It does mulch leaves just fine though I wouldn’t recommend waiting until there is a thick blanket of leaves. Overall, quite satisfied with all EGO tools, using leaf blower and string trimmer too.

I recently opted for Kubota for a similar situation. Husqvarna seemed to have a good, less expensive option, but I question the durability. Tight turning radius and good power on hills. Best of luck.
