Hoping for no need for the snowblower until late December, but I did not use this all last winter and it has been stored in the tin garden shed where the field mice rule, so out it came for its first start in 18 months.
Machine hauled out in the light, a mouse emerged blinking from the ignition/choke dashboard, so figured better to dismantle that before getting sweaty with the pull cord.
Yes the harness was chewed, but there was only two wires going to ignition switch so easy fix.
Started fine, but throttle setting would not change engine speed, another area to take apart, check out and evict the bright eyed timorous squatters.
