Hi Guys_ AJACE-The part # for the carb is 632334A. The parts places are going to ask you for the spec # off your engine which then will not cross match. Use this # off of my pre EPA engine that came stock with the adjustable carb. It is an 8HP L-Head Tecumseh. HMSK80 Spec #14 5555 OUH Many of the parts places on the net have the carb. About $70 to $80$.You might want to order repair kit#632347 while you are at it.I like to have the "just in case " rebuild kit cose at hand. Especially for a carb that isn't being used anymore by the manufacturer. Marc

Now I am wanting one. But still am unsure if it will void the warranty. I just don't have the umph to do it. How much did it cost you guys alltogether? Maybe the dealer would buy the used one. Void the warranty??? Ajace...you wanna give the dealer a heart attack or something? If the mechanic sees a non-compliant carb on a new machine he will more than likely drop his tools and run out of the shop screaming, "I didnt do it...I didnt do it....I swear by all things holy....I didnt do it." The epa carries on with an old Muslim tradition of "hand removal" if we get caught even standing next too a machine that isnt compliant. Heck.....I had too bury my "tiny drill set" in a coffee can for fear that the epa might make a spot inspection.

Snowblower worked great with 6" of very heavy snow. I was actually surprised it had such a good throw distance of at least 25' or more. My old 5 HP engine would die in these conditions. Engine RPM held its ground and never fell below 3,360. Maybe some may feel these gauges are a needless expense, but it sure is nice to see how your machine is performing in varying conditions. As for warranty, for once I'll say it, I couldn't care less about it. All I wanted was a great working and running snowblower that meets my expectations. The downside was with all the money a good snowblower costs today, I still had to spend another $74.00 to bring the engine up to my standards. The carburetor was an improvement without question. The only reason I purchased a new carb rather than a used rebuilt one for $55.00 was because the machine is new. Just wanted to keep the components on an even playing field. Besides, I think you'll find a good number of people here with new machines will find their warranty may not be in force anymore. Marc, thanks again for posting that important SPEC number
