hey guys. my buddy just got this snowblower for free, not running. its old, thats all i can say. to me, it sounds blown up from this vid. it sounds like there is zero compression. what do yall think?
yeah sounds like something is ***** up it looks like it takes no effort to pull so that kinda makes me wonder if the valve springs are toast it isnt even making a put put sound like its pulling air and stuff

diagnosis is a thrown rod. did a reudimentary compression test by removing the sparkplug and there was nothing there. so i pulled the head and pulled, the piston didnt move. i pushed it to dead bottom, and tried pulling and it locked up. so like i said, thrown rod. however, i DID find a peerless 3 speed gearbox which i will be removing in the spring and will be for sale. send me a PM if interested.
