Recently my Husqvarna Blower went into a high rpm fit seconds after starting. I had walked away to let it "warm up".
It threw a rod as I was running back to it to shut it down, This took like 5 seconds.
Not the best idea this day. It was a tecumseh snow king, 10.5 HP with only about 12 hours on it. I take care of my stuff like a paranoid mechanic.
It was not low on oil, and had been changed about 2 1/2 run time hours before this happened. of course it was just outside of warranty.
I just bought another blower with a briggs and stratton engine to get away from this nightmare. In my lifetime I have never had any of my equipment throw a rod.
Now I have a $1200 boat anchor, and a shiny new Snapper. Snowing today, cannot wait to run the new machine.
Maybe I can fit a briggs motor on the Husky?
