Thank you! This video was spot on for someone who's never done anything like this! Took me a bit longer than I thought and a couple of sections replayed, but my snowblower is running and with the expected storm tomorrow I couldn't be more relieved. So appreciated.

To bad those Power More engines don't have a fuel shut off valve. My Cub Cadet with the 420 cc engine will get one as soon as it's off waranty.

I don't know why you didn't remove and clean the jets when you already had the carburetor in your hands... Now you have to disassemble it and reassemble it again…. for the little time it takes you…do it all the first time

Note to self no Craftsman blower. Thing looks brand new and it's got a big problem.

Dude. Thank you. Seriously.

You rock!

What is the part number on Amazon for this carb?

I accidentally left old gas in my generac 2900 psi pressure washer, is it toast? Should I just put new gas in?

I have the same Machine , but the Choke knob does not pull off like you did ! It looks like it has a super small screw of some sort on the middle of the knob ?!! Down in the hole , can't see if it is a tork or what 😢

nice job

Appreciate you bro

In the day I fixed a lot of carburetors but it was really nice to be walked through how to get all the plastic off ect. Thanks for the video man.

Another success story. Thank you for providing the needed information.

You said rebuilding and they still surge. What causes that? Ive replaced carbs and still had a small surge after a few uses. Annoying, and it hurts my head.

Great video! I've had the same machine for 4 years, and two years ago I paid $350 for this issue, only to use it once last year. Today, I couldn’t stand the sputtering and didn’t want to spend another $350. I found your video, and your instructions were excellent. After an hour of watching this video, I fixed the problem. You saved me hundreds. Thank you sir!

Nice idea using welding tip cleaners. Would never have thought of that. My motor is surging so found this channel and it's perfect. Haven't pulled it apart yet and can't do it right now have a big storm coming in a. Couple hrs so I'll live with it but fix once everything clears up. Thanks.

Thank you for the video. It was very helpful and I found it step-by-step. I actually just replaced my carburetor. I can’t say that it’s running at optimum performance. Would it now be a gas issue?

Hello! Do you have a link to that specific spark plug tester?

Thank you. Video helped me perfectly to change out the carb. And it’s now purring like a kitten. If the cover wasn’t such a PITA to get back on , I could have done it in an hour. Thanks again I just bought a carb on Amazon for 16 bucks instead of cleaning it all out.

Do you know what size a replacement O-Ring would be?

You made this look way too easy!

The bolt that holds the bowl on won't tighten and is leaking gas out of the bottom. Im guessing the inside threads or the bolt are stripped- one or the other. Good new is, that the gas drains out of the bowl and never gets gunked up- the bad news is that I have to siphon any left over gas out of it when I use it, which is a pain. Do you think I need to replace the whole bowl or is there a way to fix the stripped threads that will hold?

I hate to be the one, but I noticed right off the bat that you never put gas into the gas tank. You went straight to the carburetor, you bypassed the fuel tank, why? Why didn’t anyone notice he didn’t check the shut off valve or add fuel to the gas tank.

This was great thank you. Got my blower running again. Just took my time and followed along

I suspected this was the issue with my GP6500. Sure enough. I just poked a wire loop into the plug terminals and put heat shrink tubing to lock it in place. Working perfectly again.

Always clean and save OEM carburetor if possible, which most times you can. Yes, the cheap Chinese carburetors usually work just fine on 4-stroke engines.

This was perfect,right down to the jammed jet in float bowl throat lol, ofc I had one too-great job! Super helpful, tysm!

What happens if you just leave empty? meaning skip the the non-ethanol step.

That is bs put on new carb still won't work right

I wanted to say something great about this fantastic video, but I can’t type that fast

Same motor, different orientation on a MTD. Couldn't get that cover off and for the life of me missed the vent hose was tied to the cover. Getting the throttle and choke knobs off was also a pain, but WD40 advice was great too. I was just going for a full carb replacement after having it sit far too long to bother cleaning. New carb it fired right up.

Great video with lots of good well-lit camera angles. It can be hard to see some of those connections even in real life. Thanks!

Thanks for this instructional video. Helped me out immensely.

Spot on! Very happy I found this tutorial!

Jow do you keep the high speed from moving after adjusting it? Mine moves out of adjustment after about 2 mins

what causes surging. Uneven idle?

I just cleaned out the very same carb as preventative maintenance, the rubber seals were rock hard. I put it back together, and placed an order for a partial rebuild kit for basket side. The machine I got it is from sometime 2006-8, is that machine just as old? I noticed my engine is exactly the same, along with the carb too.

YES! Lots of good comments and well earned. I liked the trick ti listen for air from the primer button. I have been hearing it but did not realize that was wrong. Trying to think of a way to bench test that carb using the primer button. but hanging on the engine loosely with the fuel connected may be the best way to test a rebuild. So the only adjustment we have is idle. I did bend my governor spring last year and i noticed it was oscillating a bit. thinking i need to straighten that out before i finish this overhaul. Seemed my O-ring shrank as is does fir the groove well. I found an assortment of O rings and the smaller one fit. I also found a fuel filter and nonEthenal fuel. I saw a fuel shut of valve but had a cheap attack, I want to get one next time. Dad had one on a water pump we used to fill the cattle trough out on a remote pasture. We would go out there open the fuel shut off crank it over 5 or 6 times with no spark then hook up the spark plug and it would fire up. When the tank was full of water we ground the spark with a screw driver and shut off the fuel. Ir was quite the ritual. for us. Now Granddad had something like that but he would should off the fuel then let the engine run dry. Thank You for a great life saving video. My snow blower is all apart and 8 inches due in tomorrow night. I better get out there and get this carb back together. Dennis

Thank you so much. I have a different model but I got the gist. My 'orifice tude' was completely clean but I sprayed and wiped everything down. Slapped it together. The damn thing started first pull! I was so worried this was going to be a dad-call! Finally got a win without utilizing my father's knowledge. He's going to be very happy, can't wait to tell him!

Just wanted to say thanks - like most of the others I was having issues starting my snowblower. Was only 2 years old, and was the first time this happened and never owned a snowblower growing up, so this was initially intimidating to me. After watching this video I was able to fix it and have confidence in my ability to troubleshoot this sort of thing moving forward, and learned a thing or two along the way!

Thanks for the video! It saved me at least $200. Do you have any advice to avoid having to do this again? I tried running all the old gas out before storing it for the summer but it still happened.

Thank you so much for helping people in this video. I followed every step and was able to fix my snow blower again thank you god bless you.

I thought all starts on a snowblower were cold starts 😅, sorry I had to

why dont all these videos include adding a fuel filter, shut-off valve'.saves for problems down the road. works for me. phil b

Thank you!

Good video, taking my laptop out to the garage next time it warms up a bit and digging into, need carb cleaner and those small wires to verify the nozzles are all open. Welding tip cleaners yes?

Thank you for your help! The only critique I have of the video is that I cannot see where you are putting the gas at the beginning because the end of the little hose is completely obstructed. Other than that, it was a perfect tutorial for allowing me to get my snowblower running without having to take it to the shop. Brilliant!

Hi, I have an Ariens SB which I can only start using the electric start. Even after it has been running for a while, I have to use the electric start again. I have the same amount of spark by pulling the cord as I get when using the electric start. Can you suggest what I should look at?

You should show a piece of paper with your venmo at the end. I bet a fraction of the people you helped would like to give you a few bucks.
