Blown head gasket? Most likely just condensation, though.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I thought some used the briggs 3cylinder liquid cooled. However, I don't know much about snow blowers that aren't attached to tractors. |

yeah- try taking out the spark plug and see if it'll pull.... you may belch out a buncha condensation, or even gas if the carb is stuck in the "open" position. (thats less likely though...)

With a service contract and a max $35 fee for plug, oil etc, I dumped it right back at the Sears store; but I might change the way I store this puppy. Back in the day when I was winter striper fishing, I ran my small 4-stroke every 2nd week and never had any issues; maybe running it every so often is better insurance.
