I spoke with ET yesterday, and from the symptoms he described, it sounds terminal... Ran for a few without a filter, sat for sometime uncovered, no filter, no pipe...not saying that this stuff blew it up, but from what he described, the motor is spittin oil back through the intake and carb, telling me the oil ring could be shot, the cylinder could be scored bad, the crankcase breather could be plugged, or a valve could be cooked... Either way, the motor has to come apart to check for where the oil is coming from, whether it be the beather or the rings, it has to be through the head to find out!!!
Good luck ET, and hey, worst case scenario, you find a snowblower with the same size shaft and SWAP!!!!!
Oh man, that has got to suk. If you got to tear it down( if it were me) I would get the 180 cc upgrade kit. Here K.C. it's around 200 bucks. Good luck!
