Hi great video. I wouldn't adjust the governor to make it run faster, that will only wear the engine out quicker. They are only meant to do around 3600rpm. I reckon their is something else,,,,possibly change the pulleys running the blower.
Also on the idler pulley front, you can drill out where they are spot welded together and then just change the bearing and rivet it back together. Just make an alignment mark so you get it lined up right. Much cheaper.

That makes sense. Thanks for the input!

I really appreciate your Superman screw turning super power.

I just put a plow on the front of my 4 wheeler but the snow never stays around long enough to try it. It's been pretty warm here and in the 60s and 70s here and there

[@bryanwelch2701]

Chains and tire weights would make a huge difference

[@M.TTT.]

You can use 00 grease for the front and 90 degree gearbox probably, its like super thick gear oil.

[@M.TTT.]

Definitely need chains and weights would help a ton

[@sigmalawpenske]

Needs steering gear the multi tooth.

[@zinger8276]

Blower needs a new belt I bet.

[@JustAnAverageBrad]

for angle drive gear boxes and snowblower worms i like to pump in a bit of 80/90 weight oil and then drill a hole and install a grease fitting to top them off with low temperature grease....never had one go bad yet

[@JustAnAverageBrad]

also i recommend v-bar chains...front and back.....then after verifying engine speed swap in a taller chute and close up the impeller gap (or repair the impeller if its damaged)....if tthat doesnt help throwing distances then install a smaller driven pulley and shorter belt to get the impeller spinning faster

[@MeleeMotors]

Hey, thanks for the good tips! I'll definitely add them to my list. Thanks for watching!

[@seanmcgillicuddy956]

Nice job all you need to do is the blower flapper mod ...!

[@MeleeMotors]

I'll have to look that one up! I haven't heard of that mod yet. Thanks for watching!

[@M.TTT.]

You might be able to add rubber flaps to the impeller also, aka the impeller mod. That plus throttle will throw snow a lot further

[@user-pc2wo9vm2k]

I would We're not complaining at beat Chevrolet.Shovel shuffle Ling snow.
Nothing without

[@renepicard1702]

hi, nice video, the short throwing of snow might be due to slipping belt or too much clearance around the phase 2 in the back of blower. Check these out for better performance,,, good day to you

[@MeleeMotors]

Thanks for the tips! That makes sense.

[@sigmalawpenske]

Needs valve adjustment

[@silwan6784]

Nice job.

[@rjbarber2522]

So after you get it running, what do you do sell them

[@MeleeMotors]

Yeah pretty much! I "fix and flip" mostly everything I get. I keep some of the cooler machines though

[@ndirish4515]

Maybe do an impeller mod too
