- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.พ. 2021
- Here is a Craftsman 24in snow blower that a customer brought in and said that he put gas in it and would not start. So after looking at it the carburetor was clogged up. So lets get it a part and rebuild this Hauyi carburetor. Please watch my playlist of all my other snow blower video's that might help you out also. • Snow Blower Repairs

Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.
Thank you!!
Perfect video
No stupid “humor” no silly graphics
I followed it step by step and and it fired right up!!
Thank you!!!
Absolutely fantastic. This is what TH-cam is all about. I have learned so much watching your Video, I am ready to take on my stubborn snow blower now. Thank you for this one.
This has to be the most helpful troubleshooting video I've ever seen. No BS. right to the point. "Do this, do this, don't do that" great camera angles, clarity, lighting... great work man. Subscriber earned 🤙🏻
Thank you and thanks for subscribing
Awesome. My snow blower hadn’t run in two years. I followed your video and and it started up on the first try. Thank you!
I've never left a YT comment before - but this requires a formal tip of the hat. Best DIY video I've ever seen. Easy to follow, great little tips and nuances, good video quality/angles. My blower started on the first pull after I was done. SUPER helpful!
Thanks and thanks for watching
Absolute life saver, my dad brought his machine over to me thinking it was broken just needed a good carb clean! Much appreciated for the fantastic tutorial!
Now you can do his All the time perfect
Thanks so much. Every year I face the same issue and I had always been afraid to try and fixing it myself and ended up taking it to a mechanic shop. This year I had no way to do that so I decided to follow along with your video and give it a try. I was able to take the carburetor apart, clean it up and make it work. Thanks a million
We didn’t get any snow last year, so my machine sat for 2 years and of course wouldn’t start when it snowed this year. Sat in the garage for 3 weeks and I tried to start it every couple days with no luck. Real frustrating. Watched your video and now it runs like a champ. Thanks so much for posting this.
Thank you for this really great video. Your explanations were thorough. After watching I was able to confidently clean out a similiar carburetor and the machine roared to life.
This was so helpful. It was exactly what was wrong with my 4 year old Craftsman Snowblower. You saved us time & money! Thank you so much!!
This was exactly what was wrong with my machine, I followed everything step-by-step and boom one click and my machine started right up. Very thorough video. Great job. Thanks so much.
Excellent video and the detailed instructions worked perfectly and saved me the runaround by Craftsman. Worked exactly as described and snowblower started right up. Thank you very much for doing this !!!
Hello! We got 10" of snow and my snow blower has only been used one time. It was showing the same symptoms as in the video. I have two 100ft + driveways and was feeling defeated. I don't know anything about engines or even care to learn about them. I watched this video and followed it step by step. After about an hour, I put everything back together, prayed to the snow blower gods and pulled the cord. I was so surprised and happy that it finally started and I was able to knock out cleaning my driveways. I can't thank you enough for this video and the detailed step by step instructions as well as the great camera angles. Keep up the great work and it truly is people like you and videos like this that save people money and time. Thanks again!!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching
This video was a life saver. This was literally the first time I’ve ever had to do any small engine service and the step by step process for my blower back running on the first attempt! Thank you so much for putting this up and teaching this guy a new skill
This was fantastic. I know nothing about small engine repair and was able to get mine running thanks to your video. Watched the whole vid then had my iPad open in the garage during the repair. I’ve only had mine for two seasons and everything was clogged. Works like a champ now!
I don't comment on much but I had to say how much I appreciate this video. Saved me a lot of money and it only took about an hour and a half from start to finish. Started up on the first pull.
this was exactly what I needed and very thorough. Great job.
Great video that showed carb cleaning from start to finish. My snowblower had this exact same problem. Same make and model as well. Followed your tutorial and it started up with two pulls. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you, I glad it helped you and please subscribe. Thanks for watching
I see you get this all the time but this video really helped me out! Saved me some money and gave me the confidence to work on my own snowblower! Great work!
This video saved my weekend. Had the exact same issue with mine. And it was the exact same issue that was causing it not to start. Plugged up fuel jet. Thank you!
Lifesaver, thank you sir! I know absolutely nothing about engines and fail miserably when I try. Your video was very in depth that I did this with a breeze! And my snowblower runs now! Thanks again!
Thank you .
Awesome tips for cleaning fuel line and carb. Fired up first time.
Snowstorm here, shop said 3 weeks to fix.
One can of carb cleaner later, done in one day.
Thank You for the video. Shocked what small dirt debris does to carburetor. Snow blower fixed thanx to you👍
Thanks for the quality knowledge. Have a 3 year old craftsman. Didn't drain last year's gas. Got it running again. Thank you!!!
I’m not a handy person and I’ve certainly never tried to fix a small engine before. My snowblower wouldn’t start and I decided to use this video to give it a shot. Video was easy to understand and very thorough. I was able to complete everything with ease and the icing on the cake was my snowblower started instantly when I was finished. Excellent, excellent video.
Thank you and thanks for watching
I followed every step in this video and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for this amazing video!
Great video! Everything very well described and thorough. My dead snowblower is back among the living.
Thank you so much for this fabulous video!!! I bought this exact snowblower last winter - I made the mistake of not storing it properly during the spring/summer and couldn’t get it started this winter. I followed the steps in your video and my snowblower started right up! I have never worked on mechanical equipment and found your video easy to follow. You are a lifesaver!! ❤🎉
Thanks for watching
Awesome Brotha! You saved me a trip to the mechanic. I’m glad this video isn’t full of a bunch of fluff. Straight to the point. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much - helped me out tremendously! At +/- 25:31 may want to mention that the emulsion tube needs to be checked, cleaned, etc. thru the entire tube (light seen thru top to bottom) - mine was plugged at the top. Motor would start but not stay running - I could keep priming it but rough running. Thanks again!
Thanks a bunch. This is exactly what was wrong with my model. Your step by step instructions were great. Thanks again.
The video was fantastic. My blower is only one year old and wouldn’t start for me on the last snow storm. Very clear and informative. I will be attacking my snow blower now and I will rerturn to let you know how it goes. Thanks..
Thank you so much and great job making this video and also explaining step by step on how to clean the carburetor, I have a similar snow blower with the same problem and thanks to you I was able to get it running and now ready for the snow.
You have a new subscriber here.
Thank you and Thanks for subscribing. 🙂
One of the best step by step tutorials I’ve ever seen. Thanks a ton!!
Fantastic video!!! Two days from a snowstorm hitting and a broken year old snowblower that's not covered under the warranty. What's a girl to do but watch a TH-cam video for help! The step by step directions were spot on. Much gratitude!!
Thank you and thanks for watching
Fantastic explanation on this task. Thanks for the video.
What an incredible step-by-step video. You just saved me some money, and also gave me the knowledge to fix my brother's Craftsman snowblower. He's way too old to be shoveling snow, so this might have literally saved his life. You just earned a new subscriber. Thank you!
Thank you and thanks for watching
@@TheGAutomotiveAndMoreI need to do this to my Craftsman. Thanks!!!
I also have a Craftsman blower with the same engine. I recently had the same issue and my first indication of a problem was that the primer bulb didn't seem to be forcing any gas up into the carb. Problem with mine was the line from the carb bowl up to the intake was clogged (pressing the primer bulb forces fuel up this tube into the intake, which it could not do). Took the bowl off, sprayed some carb cleaner up there and after that it worked fine.
Note: as i write this I am less than 13 minutes into the video, so I don't yet know the problem. But I am predicting he has the same issue as I did.
EDIT:
OK, watched further into the video and yup, same issue. Only I fixed mine without removing the carb from the engine. I just removed the bowl and sprayed a mess of carb cleaner up the tube. Yes, I also had a little gunk in the bowl, so I cleaned that, too. But as for the carb, I just put a bunch of rags under the carb and sprayed away.
Thank you for taking the time to make this educational video by helping the under dog save a buck. I was dealing with the exact same issue.
Thank you and thanks for watching
This video helped me ENORMOUSLY!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
This fixed my snowblower. I couldn’t believe it. I purchased a new spark plug and it still didn’t start. I took apart my carburetor and there it was - a clogged jet. Cleared it out and reassembled and 1st pull.
I can’t thank you enough. Thank you for your easy steps - camera angles so a person like me can follow it and fix our equipment.
Again - thank you!!!!
Thanks for watching
Got mine running after carb cleaning using your greatly detailed tutorial…..With winter approaching I was experiencing the same problem. Thank you.
Thanks for this comprehensive SB repair ☺
Amazing video for a carb rebuild, thanks.i just used generic parts cleaner but the torct tip cleaner was key. 3 bucks at lowes saved me 200$
Thank you so much for making this demo video brother. Saved me a whole lot of headache dealing with Craftsman and their difficult warranty process. 1 year old clogged carb FIXED
Glad you were able to fix it. I would drain the gas in the tank and pull the float bowel off to get ever drop of gas out of it. Then reassemble for storage.
Craft man pretty good most stuff
Excellent tutorial! Great detail. Thank you!
Thank you so much dude man!!! I was begging someone to fix my snow blower. NOT anymore. Thanks again and GOD Bless you
Excellent detailed video, very helpful. Thanks for taking the time
2nd year in a row I've had to reference this video. You did a fantastic job, thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have the same exact unit. Used it one time last year. I'm guessing I didn't drain it, but I went through your instructions and it started with one click of the electric starter. Just in time as we had 2 feet of snow this weekend.
Thanks for posting this, I left my carb on and removed the jet and cleaned it and installed a fuel filter as well. It runs great now. Thank you.
Great comprehensive video! I don’t turn wrenches very often but your instruction was. Rey empowering. Thanks!
Thanks for watching
Very good. I thank the vlog to show how to clean up the clog out of carburetor. I have snowplow machine so I will follow the instructions what the guy doing. Many thanks for your vlog. Give him A+ grade.
very well done...no mystery, all was explained so simply and filmed like a pro... Academy performance.. new sub won!
Thank you and thanks for subscribing
Excellent video, easy to follow step by step. Best of all it worked!
Thanks for the info, helped tremendously. In my case it was the clogged orifice under idle adjustment screw.
Thank you for taking the time to explain this so well. You did an excellent job and I appreciate it!
Thank you!!! Your video was so helpful. My snowblower started right up!
Thanks for the help, I Have the same unit and I bought it brand new last year I followed your instructions and it worked perfect. Thanks buddy
Good explanation. My snowblower had same issues but not this bad just main jet was clogged.
Thank you so much for this! Worked like a charm and saved me from having to shovel 2 ft of snow this weekend
Hi just wondering if you did the carburetor repair your self?
Thank you I appreciate your video, it was very informative. I have my blower running now. Great job.
Had the same exact problem with the same exact snowblower, this video was a huge help and fixed the problem, thank you!
Followed step by step, what a life saver thanks for the very detailed instructions have a great one!
Thank you!!! I watched your video several times until I got the guts to mess with it. I put it back together and I had the little needle backwards- gas was leaking🤦🏻♀️😅 and an extra piece (bracket), BUT I fixed it and the snowblower works now!! Thank you!!!
Thank you. Had this problem and followed your instructions. Worked perfectly and your simple, concise, and informative video was very well done. Perfect…
Thank you and thanks for watching
Thanks, Followed the directions and it worked after first try. You made it seem easy fora DIY project.
Great video! Thanks for the help, fixed my issue.
One of the best tutorials out there. Went thru all the steps except forgot to re-install the float. I know, don't ask. What happened? Fuel everywhere even coming back out of the primer bulb! To top it off, piston got into vapor lock and was extremely froze. I went back into the carb and installed the float. Took out the spark plug and got excess fuel out of the cylinder. All is well. Learned a great lesson. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time and appreciate the $$ saved by this great video.
There is a lot of steps in tearing down something and reinstalling everything. Its bound to happen. Thanks for watching
Best tutorial video I’ve ever seen. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic video about to go and try and clean the carb I feel confident with your instruction
Worked like a charm! Great video, thanks or the help.
Thank you so much for posting this video....had the same issue with mine.....followed your video step by step....and mine is now running as I'm typing.....thank you thank you thank you
Thank you so much! I followed these exact instructions and got my craftsman sb410 running again. Awesome video! Thanks again
Thank you sooooo much!!!!! This video def get my snow blower started perfect timing snow storm coming tomorrow and my wife is very happy! 🙏
Happy wife happy life. Thanks for watching
Thanks for doing this. After following all your instructions it fired up on the 1st try. My neighbor told me to use premium gas from now on.
Using premium will help bit I still think you should drain all the gas out of the machine. I even pull the float bowl off to make sure no gas it left in the carb. Thanks for watching
Thanks! great video, got me back up and running before the snow came.
You just saved me some money tonight, followed every step you did, and she fired right up, thank you!!
This video just allowed me to fix my craftsman snow blower. Thank you for making this video!
Adding my note of thanks. I was able to replace my carb and get my snowblower working without any issues! Thanks again for the video!
Very thankful for this video. I was about to take my snowblower to someone to get fixed till I found this. Didn't know how important it is to drain fuel after the season. I used it 1 time last year and wouldn't start this year. Thank you
Be sure to run it dry or remove the float bowel to get all the gas out of it. Thanks for watching
Thank you for this video, very informative on how to clean the carburetor. All the best
Thank you and thanks for watching
Thank you very much for this video, this was exactly what my snowblower was doing. Brand new last year but I failed to remove the gas last spring. I honestly have never removed gasoline at the end of a season in lawnmowers or snowblowers. Lesson learned! I've never messed with carburetors before, so this was very helpful!!
With the ethanol in the gasoline I now drain all the gasoline out of my equipment when I put them into storage and sometimes remove the float bowels to get ever drop of gasoline out of them. Then reinstall the float bowels. Thanks for watching
Today gasoline have 10% ethanol or more mean have water so metal and water over time start corrosion that is real problems w new equipment failures
I just want to say thank you ! I never comment but I just bought almost this same snowblower bran 2 years ago. it has maybe 15 hours on it. It ran like crap when I pulled it out this year. I followed your video and shes running great. Thank you sir
Thank you and thanks for watching
Great video that showed carb cleaning from start to finish.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
People were complaining on my other snow blower video's that I did not show everything. So I tried to show everything in this one. Be sure to watch the others one also, I have a play list here th-cam.com/play/PL9lYdMn72mK2jZ76h--TUqdYDmI0lZLhB.html
Amazing tutorial. I can’t thank you enough for the guidance. Hope we get the foot of snow they are forecasting!
Thanks for watching
I haven’t ran my snow blower in 2 years, went to start it this year and it didn’t fire up like it usually does… saw this video followed it step by step put new gas in and BOOM fired right up first pull. THANK YOU
That's great. Thanks for watching
Awesome video. Very clean and well explained. Thanks.
Freaking awesome! Thought I would have to blow a pile of money getting it repaired. Great video instruction!
amazing video! I have to do this to a 2 year old craftsman snowblower that I drained the gas out of at end of year last year. north of $1,000 machine. Meanwhile, my neighbor has a 15 year old snowblower that he doesn't drain the gas out of and starts first pull every year. His is not a craftsman. I use Rec fuel as well and drain it and this still happens with good old craftsman. I am not looking forward to doing this but you just made my life a million times easier by making this video so thank you! I clicked subscribe as well.
I do not know why they clog up so fast. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the video! I have the same model and same problem. Your step by step was wonderful!
Thanks! This was very helpful! By following these steps i didn't need to replace the part!
Thank you very much for the tip.😀
Jan 2023 - Thanks to The G Automotive and More - This was a perfect video. I have a Craftsman 26 Select with exactly the same setup, with exactly the same problem. 1 yr old and only ran for 1 minute a year ago since we had no snow last year. Gunk in the jets. I am not an engine repair guy at all and it took just under 1 hour. There was nothing difficult about this, just follow step by step and familiarize yourself with each move before you make it. I did not have the fuel hose clamp, but used a folded rag in the jaws of Vice Grips to keep from damaging the fuel line. 10mm socket is a must. everything else is just as you see. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching.🙂
Thank you so much! Exact problem happened to me ... had used Sta-bil in the tank and guessing it didn't do what it was supposed to. Your video was right on! My snowblower is 28", so was too big for me to bring to a shop and decided to give it a shot. Up and running in about 30 mins.. thanks again!
Thanks for watching
Great video, thank you so much, about get mine back up and working...
Thanks for this tutorial ! Followed the steps and started right up on first pull !
Glad it helped!
Excellent video! Thank You.
Perfect videos, mine wouldn't start and we was about to get a snow storm, ur video helped me get mine started, and I was able to show off to my wife lol
I just want to say, thank you for this video. I have a similar model and it’s only been used 3 times since 2019. I always run it dry after season.
The only issue I ran into after disassembled and cleaned was a fuel drip between the carb and the engine. I suspect trying to use the old gasket is the issue. Ordered new ones (and apparently a replacement carb) so I’m going to remove and replace them to see if it stops the drip. On a positive note, outside of a drip, it ran fine and the snow that came the day after was taken care of.
Thanks again for this tutorial. Saved me a headache.
Actually a follow up comment. My brother mentioned that simply running the tank empty may not be the best and I should turn off the fuel (I’d have to install a valve shutoff), then let it run dry in the carb. Would that make a different from siphoning the fuel and then running dry from tank?
Thanks for watching
@@MFD657 I drain the tank and run it until it stalls. Then I set the choke and try to start it again until it won't start anymore.
