You should run for President!!! You just saved me, we just got hit with 10 inches of snow and the blower wouldn't start, thanks to you I'm all set now!!!
Dude, you ROCK! I have the same snow blower in the 24” size that would not start this winter. I followed your steps. I put the blower on its front, (did not need to remove the wheel) unscrewed the carb bowl, removed the two pieces, cleaned them, put it back together and it started right up with 2 pulls of the cord! Thanks for this video, I was just about to tear the whole thing apart and order a new carburetor, but thought I would watch one more video and yours is the winner!!
Thanks man. Glad it worked out. 90% of the time the carb can be saved. Saving you money and usually time. Plus the oem carbs are much better quality. Thanks for sharing! 🍻
You just saved my asz. I had loosened the jet in the carb but could not get the screw out because the snowblower was tilted onto its chute. I elected to put it back on its wheels which allowed the screw to fall out but also allowed the other tube to fall out. Since it fell out I was unsure of its orientation within the carb. Watching this video helped tremendously. Thank you!
Just want to say thanks for a great video. Mine was completely gummed and required a full removal, but this one at least got me to the point that it would start. Just wouldn't stay running.
Just did this on my 2810 and it worked, except that I didn’t remove the tracks as it seem like much more work than removing the wheel. Awesome, thanks for your help!!
Thanks for the video. Was just tying to get my father in law’s snowblower going yesterday, hadn’t been used in years. I checked everything and new it was a fuel problem. This way makes it so much easier to get to the jets! 👍
For sure. Sometimes it’s necessary to remove the whole carb and do a bull clean but sometimes it’s just got some gum in the jets and this is the quickest way to get to them
@@SHONEY21Z For sure.. other videos I watched everyone took all the covers off etc. To take the carb off to get to the jets. Way simpler your way. There’s always a trick right!
I am working on one of these right now. It belongs to my neighbor and I confirmed that the engine only runs with the choke left on. There was a little dirt in the fuel bowl, and no signs of water. Going to try what you just did and I hope it solves the issue. If not, I'll remove the carb. Thanks for the video!
QUESTION; How long do you have to let the blower sit when returning it back to normal? You may even cover it in the video, but in case you don’t, thanks
Meaning sitting back on its wheels? It should only take about 20 seconds to fill the carb. U less there is and issue with the needle, sometimes it sticks and the carb won’t fill with gas, then you’ll need to remove the bowl and needle, and in that case, I would remove the whole carb because it’s likely there more to be cleaned than just the main jet and needle.
Thanks, this was very informative. I was thinking you would have to push the emulsion tube down from above, to clean it. I like the idea to use a pick to grab it. That's one I will remember. Good that the pilot jet was OK, and saved the trouble of tearing into the plastic covers.
Two more things learned today - pick to remove emulsion tube and tipping the snowblower forward and removing the wheel to make the carb bowl accessible. Nice! One other thing I would have mentioned - putting a piece of plastic bag or ziploc under the fuel cap if your tank has a lot of gas in it.
This doesn’t always work but sometimes you get lucky and only need to clean the main and emulsion tube. If it doesn’t, then you have to take off the plastic cover. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Great vid. Have you ever had issues with chute directional handle where it won't hold the chute in place. Mine wonders when I hit deep snow. Very annoying as I have to physically hold it in place.
If it’s the same model, there is a plastic oval that inserts into a larger plastic oval, that can round out and makes it hard to move and hard to stay in place. I’ve used heat to squeeze the plastic piece back into an oval but what I usually end up doing is running screw through the two pieces
i'm confused by your comment... most times you do need to take the carb off to clean the needle/inside passages/pilot jet, however, in some cases, only the main jet gets clogged and you can get to it this way easily. This will not work if the carb is moderately, or worse, varnished and gummed up. this is just a possible way to get the main jet clear if gas sat just a little too long but not to the point of carb needing to be soaked and ultrasonic cleaned. Hope this helps.
You saved me too!!!! That little piece was clogged shut. Cleaned it out ....put all back together and it started right up!!!! Yayyyy🎉

Awesome glad I could help. Happy new years!

This is good when in a pinch and didn’t get too clogged up. Most times it’s worse than this and does need a full carb clean. Thanks for sharing

When You do enough of them, sometimes in people’s driveways and 20* outside, you learn how to do it as fast as you can.

99% chance your carb has some blockage. Let me know how it works out?
Yeah, please let us know if it worked for you. Thanks

My dad left the gas sitting for about a year, Ive changed the gas/oil/spark plug but it only cranks, not starting. Ill be sure to give this a try
100% chance the carb is all gummed up and needs a thorough cleaning. It’s never the plug, or oil.
nice tip on removing the wheel thanks
Happy to help. Thanks for commenting

Glad it helped. I’m in the process of showing how to clean the pilot jet only without removing the carb. Just have to do the editing.

MERCI BEAUCOUP
Aucun problème 👍
You should zoom, we can't see what you're foing, most of the video.
Ok thanks for feedback. I’ll do closer views on upcoming carb cleans
Short cuts or not the answer you need to take the carburetor off

I put it in be for you did my mistake
