KSW Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Just curious on what you guys think it might be worth. It runs great but missing a part from the throttle cable to the carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 We need more info like age, size and what is missing. If it runs good and is in good shape Im guessing about $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSW Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 It's has an 8" chipper blade and the part that is missing is I think is a piece that runs from the throttle cable to the carb. It still runs, you just have to adjust the speed down by the carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I've seen them sell for $75-$150.There is no connection from throttle linkage to the carb. More then likely the spring to the governor is missing or it was taken apart and put together wrong. You can contact an authorized SM repair center and have them fix it. You might find a manual in pdf format on-line as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Ya Im with ST. If its in REAL nice shape I would say $175 but in average shape about $100-$150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSW Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 thanks for your input. I was thinking around $130 but wasn't sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadsea Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I have one of these. The carb gummed up and when I took it off the motor, the governor piece and spring fell out so I didn't see how it was supposed to be set in there. Took quite a bit of time but once I figured it out it and cleaned the carb it ran perfectly. Agree with ST to just bring it in to a reputable repair shop and they can get a spring and put it back together in short order.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
