So the blizzard here on the east coast left us with 3+ feet of snow. Needless to say the Toro SS 221QE I have, as great a machine it is, just cant cut it. Called my Ariens Dealer Saturday, bought a Deluxe 28 plus over the phone, they delivered it today (Monday). Interesting thing dealer told me is this one doesn't have the 250cc that the 921027 has. This one is the 305cc engine. Dealer said this is a limited run because the 921027 are sold out and Ariens is fulfilling orders for the 921027 with 921034, for the $1099 price point! Anyhoo, thought I would share this interesting bulletin. BTW, the machine is a BEAST! Love it!

I went ahead and turned the gasoline back on and started it for awhile to run the oil out of the float bowl. Then shut off petcock, let it die, drained remaining gas from bowl via the drain bolt. Pulled starter rope to bring the piston to TDC. All done. It is a 2 cycle by the way, so no intake/exhaust valves -or oil to change!

Thats always the case it would seem for me !

Hi, first post, long time lurker. I have a 221QE 2 stroke Toro snowblower. I recently summerized it and installed a fuel shutoff inline. I ran the engine out of fuel and then took the float bowl drain bolt out to let the remaining gas drain (only a few drops came out). I then tipped the machine up on its auger and used my fogging oil spray with the red tube to burst some oil into the float bowl. I then put the drain both back in and lowered the snowblower down and pulled the rope. The motor gave one last VROOMMM, then died. I figure this would have sucked up some fogging oil into the jet. Will this be ok until next winter? I don't want the jets getting clogged from dried gas residue, which is why I sprayed the fogging oil in. Hope this is ok...
