Hi I just got a really nice 1984 Toro 8 HP 24" snow blower given to me today with a crappy Tecumseh engine actually the engine is good has great compression I just really hate Tecumseh.
It's a really mint machine normally I would just take the engine off it and replace it with something better by that I mean a cheap chinse knock off Honda because it's an improvement over the Tecumseh engine, I do a lot of small engine repair as a hobby but I'm slowly getting out of it I'm getting tried of dealing with bad gas even in my own machines, I tend to forget to start my snow blower over the summer months and let it run to let fresh gas go through it, same in return for my mower.
I also can't justify starting an engine up just to let it run for a few minutes and not use it just to shut it off again and if I run the machine out of gas as some people do that's just as bad as leaving gas in it because the float in the bowl gets stuck down which just makes a huge mess once fuel is added back into the carb.
What I'm thinking of doing is converting it to cordless and for a battery I was thinking of running it on a Ryobi 40V battery as I plan on going cordless at some point in the near future with my lawn mower as well.
Where I live I don't get much snow at least not like what I used to see when I was younger but I do have a fairly long driveway to clear.
Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly apricated as I know nothing about EV stuff.
