So I did a little research on the air cleaner. What we have is just the standard air cleaner housing for a GX200. If it was on another application, other than a snowblower, there would be a foam filter under that wing nut. So the snowblower config is to just remove the filter and run through the hollow housing, unfiltered.

I've had my (wheeled) HSS724 for 7 years now and I love it. Good as new. Just keep the chute & cables lubed / protected and they'll never fail. Oil change & spark plug change once a year. Biggest tip I can give you is install an impeller kit, which closes the gap between impeller end and impeller housing, eliminating clogs. I made my own kit from bailer belting (Tractor Supply) bolted through the 3 impeller ends. I don't think Honda power equipment can be beaten. I live in the country and rely on this stuff and they've never ler me down. Pricey but dependable. Perhaps the biggest tip is to make sure to run the engine out of fuel by turning the fuel lever to 'off' after each session. Running the carb dry prevents any kind of fuel gunk build up. I learnt this one the hard way but since I've done this I've never had any issues with any of my Honda power equip[ment in over 10 years.Enjoy your work of art!

Thanks for the great feedback. I’m a use, care and maintenance geek when it comes to my power equipment, so will take your advice. Now if I could only try the darn thing out! Nothing but a couple of 1-2 inch snow falls since I bought it last year.

@@charlesbeall2589 Hey there. I use straight gas but add an appropriate amount of Staybil to it. I use that mix on all my Honda power equiupment. After use, I turn the fuel supply to 'Off' and then run the engine out so there is no fueld in the carb. Having the ability to shut off the fuel to the carb like that is such a great Honda feature. I've left some of my power equipment to sit drained like that fior 6 months + with no issues upon restarting. I have the electric start version so I use a battery tender out of the snow season.

I think most folks have multiple interests and responsibilities. I certainly relate to your “fix it” proclivities. Your new approach to the channel makes sense to me.

Thanks for the feedback, Jim

Great addition to the format! your woodworking videos are great however, you have a lot of other great insight to share with us. Looking forward to your future videos.

Thank you, Gerard. More to come!

I just bought the HS724CT24 inch for my daughter. We get tons of snow in Northern Ontario Canada. I’ve got a Honda HSS 1132 and it’s a beast. I’m hoping the smaller size will work for her as well.

There is crossover with woodworking, home repair, and other hobby topics. I think woodworkers are a curious people who enjoy the engineering and design. It all translates. Could easily gain a viewer for a video about door locks and they come back for a video on fine furniture. Most content these days is selling the person, not the content itself. I’d watch anything you give us.

Just bought the Honda hss1332atd at end of December. Most disappointing winter for snow. I’m a huge Honda snowblower fan. Owned 3 thus far. This is my fourth!

Well said, my friend. We think alike!

I enjoyed that video Frank. I was looking for a follow up to see how it performed. Hopefully you ended up getting a chance to use it. Actually…with a 450 foot driveway, maybe it is better if you didn’t! That is a serious workout for both man and machine.

Almost everything is from China and obviously for most things the quality varies. I never seen a Honda engine that has even come close to letting me down. They’re bulletproof regardless of where they’re made, their engineering and quality control is second to none and not a person on this planet will argue that.
