Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I have a Ariens 924108. My snow blower will not blow slush. I see other folks bragging about it. I also see some folks using there snowblower as as pump throwing water from the house. When I go into slushy stuff all It does is vomit out of  my shoot 3 inches. Is there something wrong? It blows snow poor too. 10 feet of heavy wet snow.20 feet of regular snow. My blower has  a 8 hp Techumseh. This snow blower is rated to throw snow 50 feet . What can I do to improve performance.

I haven't put the Clarence kit on mine yet.   I have it but will install when the warranty is up.    I did a pulley upgrade that gave a substantial boost to the throwing distance.  I didn't get a real chance to test out in the slush last season.  It was a bad "no" snow year in the Pacific Northwest.

Second picture shows stick pulley.  I had to put a larger Husky belt cover on as well since new larger pulley rubbed somewhat.
