I can't seem to find any real good info on the...

    I have good memories as a kid using a Toro S200 snowblower on my parent's driveway...so I thought I'd pick one up. I bought 2 off Craigslist ($20 and $35) to combine the best parts of both into a useable machine. On the one with the better motor I'm going to rebuild the carb, replace piston...
