squonk 41,010 #1 Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Tried to get a Sno-Pup video but it is almost impossible. Need 2 hands on the Pup. got a short vid of the C-160 in action. Had to run it at partial choke. didn't realize it until I got done that when I unplugged the battery tender I forgot to plug in the electric fuel pump. It was gravity feeding the whole time Edited November 24, 2013 by squonk 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,683 #3 Posted November 24, 2013 Now that looks like a good, fun snow to plow...not like the lousy 1" we are supposed to get tomorrow. Hey...what is this plug for??? Good thing we still have gravity. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #6 Posted November 24, 2013 I'm jealous with still plowing leaves. The temperature matches winter today though! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjsdad 18 #7 Posted November 24, 2013 Not a video, but I did my first plowing of the season this morning. After sitting for months, I put a little charge in the battery (the regulator is bad) and blew into the fuel tank to force gas into the carb and she started right up! Not a lot of snow, maybe 4 or 5 inches, but I plowed my driveway and the road in front of my house. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,683 #13 Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Great pictures of around northern New Mexico...you are on the high side of town for sure. Just beautiful...thanks for sharing. Mike...old habits are hard to break...the mind is the second thing to go...in the beginning, there was nothing, and God said, "Let there be light" and there was still nothing...but you could see it. I hope my video tomorrow...if we get that 1" of snow...is not of me running the gas out of my lawn mower.. Edited November 24, 2013 by stevasaurus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timo4352 147 #14 Posted November 24, 2013 Yep - that's from New Mexico. I'm in the Ohio snow belt and I got nothin' That's alright - it's too damn cold and windy out there anyhow. Didn't really want to go out there anyhow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjsdad 18 #15 Posted November 24, 2013 You did all that road?? Mike...... Well... no, but my Horse did! I live in Cedar Crest, NM at 7000 ft. elevation. The road is not cleared by the municipal plows 'cause it's a private road. So my L'il Horse and I clear it off. With the plow blade angled as far as it will go it only cuts about 4 ft. wide so it takes a few passes to get it all cleared. It actually works best when the snow is 5 inches deep or deeper. In high gear the snow curls off the blade pretty well. A few years ago some drunk-assed doofus drove through my yard because the road wasn't plowed so now I do it out of self-preservation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,345 #16 Posted November 25, 2013 I just hope Doofus doesn't come along while you're plowing. Great pics, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know how it goes....... your mowing your yard trying to stretch your gas and you run out with about 2 passes left. Now it's time to drain it out for the season. You get as much out as you can and run it dry. Of course with almost no gas in it, it will run for over an hour!!
