I recently had my snowblower fixed by a small engine guy. The engine would not turn over. The problem with it turned out to be that the cylinder had filled with water somehow. I guess it was quite a bit too. All he could figure was it had to do with my storing the snowblower outside all summer. I like to keep it under my deck in a locked cage with a cover on it. Moisture would have gotten in from humidity in the air and stuff.
Anyone had a similar experience? I really prefer to be able to keep it under the deck because i have so little room in my garage. My memory is fuzzy, but it's possible it seized up during its last use last season. Y'know how you generally want to run the gas out if it before you store it. When the motor quit back then it may have been because it was seized at THAT point, and I declined to deal with it then. If that's true, how did water get in? I don't know where the intake is on these, but maybe it sucked up some snow?
What do you think?
