I purchased this Snowblower new in 1987. Price was $575.00 from a Honda dealer. Great machine
I really enjoy your videos and I just watched an old one on your Honda HS35 snow blower. I, too, just acquired one but I'm having trouble getting spark. In your video you mention that it was weak, but it was showing a spark. What did you need to do to get a strong enough spark to fire it up after you did the carb work? Thanks if you have the time to respond!
I had this same model of snow blower when I lived in Minnesota and it was perfect for my 4 car sized driveway. Except for the end of the driveway, where the snowplow so kindly pilled up a large drift of snow, as they always do, this blower always beautifully cleared the driveway in a hand full of minutes. For the pile of snow that the snowplow left me at the end of the driveway, I would run the blower side to side across the end and chop down some of that big pile into a small pile that I could blow off with each pass. Depending on the size of the pile I might have to make 5 or 6 passes to get the snowplow snow removed. My neighbors had these huge snow blowers that would cut through the pile that the snowplow left with relative ease but then they were wrestling around their huge blower trying to do the main part of the driveway. It looked absurd when they used their huge snow blower to clear off 3 or 4 inches of snow. I really liked this little blower a lot.
Great video! A friend of mine bought one of these 2 years ago. I work on most of his equipment. Now I have an idea on how to work on one of these blowers. Thanks!
It’s a Honda. It’ll run. Just put gas into it
Just garbage picked one of these
Brand new HS720 purchased at end of last season. I started it up and ran it but didn’t get another snow so I never used it. Stored for the summer. Just fired it up and it was hard starting!! It take 2-3 minutes of intermittent cranking on the electric starter. Yes I gave the starter a break after 10 seconds of cranking so don’t bust my balls 😂😂😂. It finally started but it runs at what I call a “fast hunting” so I pulled out the choke and it ran smooth. Pushed back the choke and right back to fast hunting. Any ideas or advice from this group of Honda Snowblower owners??? Thanks in advance.
yup someone already explained it ha
the choke handle has a keyway to pass through about half choke and the fuel switch has a set screw holding it in if ur using a bar its wrong lol
I have had my Honda for 15 years and it was given to me. I have to clean up my carb so this was great to watch so I know sort of what I am in for.
Dumb question. Where do you get your gas and oil squirt bottles?
Not impressive at all these small engine mechanics are a joke. My 5yr old can fix them. Small engine mechanics are what mall security guards are to real cops. Preschool vrs phd
