Hi Guys. Happy new year! I have a Gilson ST624 (model number 55358 with a H60 75798U motor which I believe was made by Techumseh. My problem is for some reason...
What you did with the petcock should not be a problem. What did you do with the stabilizer? did you leave straight stabilizer in the tank? Getting that stuff...
Sorry about that Pete. No I added it to the fuel when I changed the oil. I even took that fuel out and added fresh fuel to make sure that it hadn't gone bad...
Hi Manny, Being able to only run with the choke on is a sure sign of a dirty/plugged carburetor. Don't know the style on this engine, though. Does the carb...
Yes it does Brian. It's rounded and kinda flatens out on the bottom of the bowl. The screw in the bottom is not a hex head though. The screw is round with tiny...
It seems to me that I remember taking that nut off and the bowl comes off. Either that nut/bolt or there is a slotted screw under it that you need to take out...
Hi Manny. Like David said above. The (bottom) screw should go into a brass nut on the bottom of the bowl. That is actually a fuel metering "plug" as well...
I am trying to find someone that might know where I can get parts for a transmission to early to mid 1960's "SnowShark" by Moto-mower. I need to replace a...
That Was it Dave and Brian. I blew out the little hole in side of the screw with carb cleaner and the thing ran like a champ! You guys are awesome!! Now is...
Glad to hear it worked out. I don't know the Indian so well, teamwork is great. Maybe we should write a book, something like It "Takes a Village to fix a...
You gotta love the power of great forums like this which combine the love and enthusiasm of a quality brand name vintage machine. Glad I could give back this...
Thought you all might be interested... my recently restored Wards/Gilson (http://mysite.verizon.net/vzenwws2/gilson/1970MontgomeryWardGilson47 /) had it's...
Glad it worked out for you. At least you can use yours. Here in MN we have had zip for snow again this year where I'm at. I leave the gas with stabilizer in...
Hello again, I put a post on #399 about wanting information about the "SnowShark" just in case you missed it. Pete, do you or anyone know anything about it...
I just purchased a Gilson snowblower, model #55134. The owner had new belts but were not installed. I installed the belts but have two questions/problems...

Hi Pete, Thanks for your response to my questions. Your coaching is very helpful. Regarding the brake bar: The brake bar seems to be in place and functioning....
I've added a picture of what the whole assembly should look like, it's following yours in the photo section. It looks like you just need to get the traction...

When you have a chance see my Features and patents page, you have an intermediate model. There are some neat patents associated with the machine including the...
Thanks Pete, The photo is very helpful. Does the sign you placed next to it with the numbers 38 and 40.5 refer to the length of the belts in inches? David ......
Glad it helped. There is some conflict on the 38 inch traction belt, many cross references say 39. I had done an experiment using various belts and found that...
Pete, another question if I may, I have successfully reassembled the belt drive but the pin that I mentioned still grazes the traction belt. It's probably not...
The hole at the midpoint of the arm is what you need to be using, not the one at the tip. I need to do some errands but I have a 55134 in the shop waiting for...
... the ... Hi David, Like Pete said, the spring attaches to the hole in the midpoint of the arm. Hard to describe here, but look for a hole on the left side ...
