Honda Snow Blower - Will It Run?

I bought this Honda HS55 snow blower from a flipper who pulled it from the trash. After working on it a while he realized this was not a easy fix. So I bought it! And he was right. There are a lot of issues with this machine. The engine will not start despite having spark, fuel, compression and timing. You will never guess why. There are bigger issues with this engine then not running. Lets see if I can get all the issues sorted out.

A great example of how much harder it is to troubleshoot something after someone else has tried to repair it.

Whoever worked on that unit before you. This message is for that gentleman. Please never pick up a wrench again.

James... Your long videos are not a problem. Lots of good info and that takes time. Can't wait for part 2.

I feel guilty about even thinking of this, but I always hope there is lots wrong with the stuff you fix, so that I get to see how it's fixed 😉

I tinkered with Honda Trail 90's for many years and the forum I was on had acronyms - DPO was the Damn Previous Owner, typically the person responsible for the weird and stupid "repairs" you had to un-do.

Schooled! It's almost like someone messed this engine up with a number of issues just to see if you could identify and fix them. I once took a small engine repair class and this video was like the final exam.

Don't you just love it when someone else has been there before you? Treating that engine with all the love and care in the world, and giving it the benefit of their vast knowledge and experience!

Even with the missing push rods, I never in a hundred years would have caught that valve retainer swap! You Sir, are a Pro,....

Someone sure messed with that who hadn't got a clue but it's in excellent hands now,

If I didn't know better, I'd say a 12 year old me worked on this machine before you got it.

I bought ours in '88 and the flat head Biggs & Stratton was still the norm engine wise! The over head valve engine is a big improvement! My blower still runs great and it does pitch a fit if pushed to hard! But hey we both moved a lot of snow! Back in winter of '93 as got 28' of snow! We both got beat up that year!

Thank you so much for your videos. I had trouble starting my lawn mower and found a clogged jet and got her running again. I have learned so much from your videos.

BTW, instead of all the bolts on the carb, I have a few sets of 3/8" stainless tubing, cut to different lengths, I use for the purpose of your bolts.....
