Of course I can't tell how fast it's running but to me it sounds like any 2-cycle snow thrower and sounds like it's running fine to me and the choke is indeed working.
Do you have a tachometer?
If possible, do your snow dance so you can put it under load and see how it runs. My experience is they run a lot smoother under load.
Hi,
So I went ahead and picked up a tach. The device fluctuated between 3900 and 4000. So I think this job is done. Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions. One last question if I could: The instructions for the device (ES 328 EZ-Tach Plus) said to set it for the engine type (2 or 4 stroke) as well as the number of revolutions per spark. I had that set to one because well, I really have no idea. The numbers just go up from there and I can't imagine the plug is firing more than once per revolution. Am I correct with my settings?
Thanks
Lefty
