yes it appears to be in and arounf that, thanks…brad
it looks sortof like a 64 i dont really know i dont usually mess with snowbirds
I have -MOST- of one of these carbs, the float’s been wrecked and a couple pieces are missing… I’ll see if I need the thing.. if not you can have it for the cost of shipping but you’re probably better off looking on ebay for a complete one truthfully.
thanks for the info, i appreciate, im going to check your vids to see if you have any on that carb, if not do you think you could make one once the snow stops? Thanks again krankiev!!! Brad
5hp
looks to be 6-8HP
probably 6HP
Snowbird snow blowers were made from 1946- 1967.
this looks like a late 50s or an early 60s motor.
I like Valvoline and Napa oil. MMO and Lucas oil stabilizer rock!
it looks liek it takes a Flo-Jet 2 piece carburetor like the one on my dad’s troy bilt tiller and on my tote gote minibike.
The “muffler” is intriguing. The one on my tote gote was exactly the same. I thought it was a normal muffler that was rusted away. Now that I see this.. I wonder.
