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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
