Unhappy Snagged a free snowblower: Ran when parked. Not eco.




A friend gave me this. "Ran when parked" (N years ago).

Maybe this is a bad thread for EcoModder: the fact is it's only going to increase my fuel consumption.

Thing is: I look after my folks' driveway and my own.



Truth is: I actually like shovelling - it's good exercise.

But once or maybe twice a year we get a dump of snow that's slightly more exercise than I want. Yet I've managed to get this far in life without a snowblower. Though I'm lucky that sometimes a neighbour with a blower clears the end of the driveway on those rare days.

Anyway, it's got:
  • flat tires
  • a squirrel-chewed plastic fuel tank
  • I have no idea how old it is
  • it wouldn't start when I sprayed quick start in the intake. (UPDATE: it started!)
A little project for sure.
