QuestionMy ancient toro s 200 snowblower has a new problem. Maybe.
I hit a large snow bank of wet snow. The snoblower died. Happens sometimes. I went to restart and the cord would not move.
AFter taking the plastic cowl off I dicovered part of the cord wrapped around the shaft of the pull cord, but OUTSIDE the normal cord storage area.
I discoved that the shaft of the pull cord mechaism (what is the real name for that) was the only thing holding the pull cord to the engine.
There is a housing/shieled/cowl over the engine. This shield has 4 holes that line up with the holes on the cord mechanism. However I do not have any fasteners in any of these holes. The holes in the cord mechanism and the holes in the shield do not appear to have threads.
How do I fasten the cord mechanism to the shield of the engine? I have figure out that because the cord retracter was not fastened all the way around, when the engine bucked, the cord spun outand tangled on the spindle rod.
I have untangled and put everythng back together. It works. I do no want to have this happen once a week. Please help.
Thanks
Answer Hello Russ:
That Housing was Held on with Rivets. You can Use Small Short Bolts, But I Don't Suggest it. Use Rivets. They Wont Vibrate Loose. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks. Be Safe.
Good Luck
