Found this at an auction, bought it for $70.00. Don't really need another blower but couldn't resist the 7hp 24" cut. It's a 2008 model and a rare bird in design. The ad said it didn't run but had good compression. Looked in good shape. Turns out it was low on fuel. After the ride home (fuel sloshing around in the tank) and a shot of starter fluid it fired right up. Smoked like crazy, so either it had the wrong mix in it. Or the fuel had evaporated and left a high concentration of oil in the remaining fuel. Will post some pics tomorrow. I'm ready for snow already. Hope this year turns out better than last year.
For those wanting to know. It has a BRIGGS AND STRATTON, 084333-0199-E1 engine.
