Snowdog or not to Snowdog?

[SkunkedAgain]

Wow glad it didn't get you that would have been brutal. Sorry the slides I mentioned are in Mikuni carburetors they are either round cylinders that move up and down opening an airway, or on some models they are a flat gate that slides up and down doing the same function... I forgot the carbs on the briggs motor is like a round disc that rotates opening the air passage, so it's likely it wouldn't be effected the same way, unless the ice kept it from rotating closed... Anyway moisture freezing in carbs on really cold days has been an issue for me from time to time.. sometimes when a bunch of powder gets sucked in, it can cause freeze up issues as well... Not the issue you had though, hope you have that figured out, it's scary to have that happen and not be sure how to prevent it... Good luck... J
