I picked up a couple of Toro snowblowers over the weekend on the cheap. They both run. I was thinking about trying to mount one on my 69 Maverick frame at least temporarily (Until I rebuild the original engine)
Pics attached show Toros. S-200 and a Snowmaster 20. The S-200 looked like the larger engine so I broke down the snowblower and flopped it on a milk crate under the Maverick. BTW the engines had 5/8 and 3/4 shafts.
So my questions?
1. Does the diaphragm carb need to be "level" or will it work at any angle. The engine position now in the frame is horizontal. Are different manifolds available?
2. Gear ratio?
3. Looks like I'll need a long chain. At least at this position. I think the rear sprocket is 420 chain, I think I have seen centrifugal clutches that use 420.
4. What to do with the exhaust.
