Hi have a champion 400 blower that turns well enough but I would like to take the top off to clean up the inside and there are 2 srew I took out do i need to something diff any ideas thanks joe

Joe , that top will slide away from the housing, iirc. Once the screws are out , of course.
The one end kinda hooks into the housing. bruce

Ok so I need to just lift a little and slide it off ?

yes, like fitting the barrels of a double shotgun into the action.

gently tap it with a hammer handle and it will slide of to the side/rear

Thanks Bruce , rthibeau I got it just didnt want to force things and break the housing. I'm good at breaking stuff sometimes. It look's great in there

I love this site. I got looking on how to do exactly what Longhunter was needing to do and here it is.

Here is a link to a website machinist forum website that has some really good information on the champion 400 blower. Hope it can help you out.

Thanks, wassomeoneelse. That page is a wealth of information. I've gone ahead and bookmarked it.

I don't think I'll have to go to that extent. To be honest, I think I lucked out, every screw I'm taken off so far has been a breeze and the inside of the gearbox looks it pretty good shape. I would almost swear someone a few years ago went through and cleaned it up really well. The only problem I've found so far was one of the fins is bent, but still in line with the rest of them. So, if I turn the handle hard, there's a vibration. But, I think as long as I take care of it it should last me for years.

Thanks for the help,

Mark

Boy, thats a great page. Thanks for posting it. I have two and one needs a little work. I had incorrectly guessed the housing should have some oil in the bottom.
Thanks,
Ken
