I have an old honda hs50 snowblower that is not very usefull. It starts up and runs great but will not throw snow more than a couple feet. Usually it just clogs the chute after a foot or so. I checked the belt and the auger and everything seems to be spinning at the proper speed. I am getting hammered with snow in the sierras right now ad am about ready to bust out old faithful ( Ace Shovel)
