Were you able to fix it? I left my HS35 to my ex wife after my recent divorce. I started it and cleared some snow with it last week. It worked wonderfully, throwing snow towards the roof. Maybe 15-17 ft.
Good to hear from you and sorry about a change in your family status.When I see HS35 for sale, I think of blumonster. I got a HS520 a few months ago and does a good enough job. Definitely better than my old HS35 as the carburator was not load senstive. For example, when there is more snow, RPM of HS 520 goes up to manage the load but my HS35 did not (I suspect something was wrong with the carburator). Good move keeping the HS621.
