Hi Mike: How are thos Canadian snows this year?
I know what it does and the specs-I do RTFM. I've tested it and it holds no

We have basically no snow at all here in Southern Ontario. I was up
north a couple weeks ago and they had very little too. Barely enough to
run a sled on.

Too bad about the blown part. I think I would look for a used carb for
parts. Maybe someone upgraded and has the old one kicking around? There
are two Rochester E2SE carbs for sale on ebay for $75 each....

I doubt it would pass the smog, but how does it run like that?

One other thing came to mind, does it move when you put the power to it?
