Hey guys,
I have an 8hp/25 blower that I haven't used for 2 years (didn't really snow last year so didn't use it) & was fixing the carb because it would bog down while throwing snow. Anyway, point it, hasn't been used in close to 2 years. So, now that snow is near & I have time, I decided to see if I can get it going. Cleaned up carb & it started on the 2nd pull. Didn't even have to adjust the power screw as it's not popping on full speed.
But, the problem is that my trans is sorta seizing up. I sprayed it anywhere I can but it doesn't seem to be helping. It's got trax, not wheels. If you do get it moving, it'll stay in that 1 direction, but still not going great. So, you go backwards, then forwards, then it won't wanna go backwards. Try forwards again, it's stuck. I opened the bottom cover & saw the trans. but it seems to be sealed. Also, working on it seems like I have to turn it upside down.
Any ideas on what I can do to un-seize it?
It looks like this:
