.....hurray.....the magic snowblow fairy must have visited my snowblower overnight or something.....because the next morning it started right up and worked like a champ.....all I did was fill the gas and pour a little mystery oil in with the gas....and it worked perfect....what-a-machine....the Lowe's Troy-Bilt 24" $599 snowblower.......the greatest snowblower ever ever ever
! .....it starts....it runs....its works and it weighs about 150-lbs so it is light enough for me to muscle it around various steps and narrow paths....
.....hey....this latest snow fall was like ten inches of magic light fluffy snow.....very easy to snowblow......even the heavy stuff left by the town plow was easy to do.....vivre le winter with Team Troy-Bilt!
.... I obviously have no clue what went wrong before but now the machine starts and works good!
