Nope, they work well in the cold and always have with the fan on the blower housing.
The forced air cooling system for snowmobiles has been a proven method of engine cooling
for many years just like the 4 cycle gas engine on a lawn mower or weed wacker.
I don't have a problem using a 2 over 4 cycle. Ran 2 strokes since the 70s and probably less weight depending on cc size. 4 strokes have good low end torque. Belt or chain, either is fine with me. I just think the older ones are built much better than todays. Gotta pay for heavy quality. I saw the Snovac. If l remember they were kinda high $. I enjoy building so thinking if l can find a good shape older blower unit and mod it with a new ( 2 or 4 stroke) engine, that'll be my route. I just want the unit to be able move some snow as mentioned with good rpm...
If there were more front blower options l might go that route and buy. Like that 64" Bigg Pigg. I believe $6500 was their sale price if their still building them. I know l can build a quality, reliable unit for less...
