One other thing I forgot to mention. This particular auger and chute configuration is prone to clogging as the moisture content of the snow increases. Every time I have change the paddle rubber I have noticed a significant decrease in clogging. I realize that the Craftsman is an experiment but new paddle rubber will reduce your need for running the motor at higher rpms.

See that piece of string from the handle going into the housing? Pull that string and throwing distance is increased three fold. It's amazing to see what that thing will do at 6000+ rpms.
Kind of like the snow removal equivalent of a buggy whip!
