    Excellent video. I want add to my solution to correcting the surging idle on my 2011 Troy-Bilt Storm 2410 snow blower which has existed since I purchased it new from Lowe's in Nov '10. The engine is the same 179cc "early" version that Brad addresses in this video. My snow blower has always been stored indoors and properly winterized each Spring, but has had a "surging" idle since new. The engine starts easily, and runs fine under load (with partial choke). I have simply tolerated the surging idle until I ran across several TH-cam videos addressing idle surge in the Troy-Bilt Storm 2410.
    After watching a couple of videos suggesting that a clogged idle jet will cause this issue, I decided to investigate. Following Brad's video for disassembly of the engine control shroud, and especially removal of the elusive lower starter switch screw to release the RH corner of the shroud, I gained access to the carburetor Idle Stop Adjusting Screw, and the Idle Jet Assembly without having to fully remove the carburetor. Sure enough, the air bleed hole in the idle jet was plugged -- not with varnish or debris, but rather with BRASS -- the idle jet was faulty from the factory!
    Based on other videos which cautioned against enlarging the hole diameter more than .040", I used a #64 (.036") drill bit remove the brass in the center of this jet which I believe missed its component production "drill" process during manufacturing in China -- undoubtedly along with several hundred other jets in the same "batch".
    After reattaching the carburetor shroud and exhaust heat shield, I fired the engine up and was treated to the pleasant sound of an idle that was smoother than a baby's bottom! AND, it only took me 13+ years to figure out the cause, and get it corrected -- we get so-o-o-o-o schmart, so-o-o-o late!! 🤔🥶😠

    Brad you’re my hero! My 2410 179CC was surging horribly. First time this woman has EVER even seen a carburetor. Made the neighbors hear my roar at 1030 PM due to my excitement of my accomplishment! Snowblower has a name now, “kitten” cuz that’s how she will purr from now on!! Forget paying $80 for service pick up alone! THANK YOU

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines
      @JohnsonsSmallEngines  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Mike, there is a side mount bolt on the carburetor bowl you should be able to access to drain the fuel from the carburetor. Not having a fuel shut off is not good. You may also try alternative fuel that you can purchase at the big box stores. Tru-Fuel. trufuel50.com/4-cycle-mix/. OR what I am now using Aspen Fuel. www.aspenfuels.us/. It is far superior to pump gas and you will not have the issues with gas going bad while storing your machine but do not mix the two (gas station gas with true fuel or aspen) You will not get the benefits from using the better fuel.

    This is an excellent video! These engines are made of inferior metals. It is not worth the effort to rebuild one. After rebuilding a 179cc, Chinese manufactured, engine for a 2410 storm, I am shocked at the lack of quality. The aluminum is too soft. The smaller bolts are very brittle. These engines may last a while. However, they are liable to break a rod, sooner than a person can afford.

    Yeah I have this snowblower and it needs the carburetor replaced. Fuel is leaking from the bowl after I tried to clean carburetor. Could not clean the needle because the screw is stuck down the center so buying a new fuel maker. I cut away plastic that is not needed in process of disassembly. I want some of those forked pry sticks but where do you buy them? Dirty fuel messed up the fuel maker I believe as the machine come with no fuel filter and no tank screen neither. The bowl was clean on the carburetor but when I put it back together the O ring must be shot. I am just getting a new one. Not much money.

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines
      @JohnsonsSmallEngines  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      When you move the throttle from slow speed to high Speed the engine should sound different. If it stays the same , you may have the idle screw in to far or it sounds like you may have installed the carburetor incorrectly but without seeing or hearing it, to tough to diagnose.

Probably as much work to clean so I probably should just replace the carburetor correct?... I am a 57 year old non mechanic female going to attempt this. 🤔 any other suggestions?

      Hi Tom,
      The carburetor will need to be rebuild or replaced to stop the surging. (the surging came from gas going bad inside the carburetor from sitting for a long period of time without being used). The engine speed should not exceed 3600 rpms and you will need a tool (tachometer) to find out what the speed is. Here is a video on how to rebuild the carburetor th-cam.com/video/_ngK6l6_J7g/w-d-xo.html. and below the video in the description there are links to help you out. I would also recommend stop using pump gas and look into Aspen. Here is a link to read up on it. www.aspenfuels.us/products/all/

    After setting the knob to choke, I can get the engine started, but it dies when I adjust the knob to run! What do you think is wrong and how do I fix it. This is a 2410 storm Troy Bilt snowblower, about 5 years old. Please advise.

    Thank you thank you thank you! Looks very similar to the job I'm going to have to perform once the new carb arrives. only difference is that my 2410 model number ends in 766 instead of 711.... is that much different from this assembly?

      If you mean the choke rod doesn’t fit into the hole of top of the choke bracket on the carburetor? I have come across a few that were very tight but they do go in or you may have purchased the wrong carburetor? Without seeing what your saying, it is hard to help.

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines
      @JohnsonsSmallEngines  ปีที่แล้ว

      The engine speed should be between 3400 and 3600 rpm’s. I do not have a video on raising the engine speed because normally they never need that adjustment. Your not going to see better performance from raising the engine speed unless you have a huge difference in rpm’s. To help your machine perform better, you need to make sure the auger belt is correctly tensioned and spray silicone in and around the chute/auger and exhaust chute. If all is working correctly, then your machine is operating as it should.

      Yes, if your carburetor fails that can happen and you absolutely need to drain engine crankcase and refill with new oil.

    Thank you so much for this video. My machine still wont kick on. I changed the carburetor, spark plug, oil, put in ethanol free gas and still wont start even when trying with the electric start. Can anyone please HELP

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines
      @JohnsonsSmallEngines  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The next step is to check Ignition/spark. Check spark by using a inline spark tester if you can get one. If you do not have ignition, you will need to replace coil or find the reason why the coil is not igniting. If you have spark/ignition, next would be checking compression and unless you have a compression tester it may be a little tricky. When you pull the pull rope slow you must feel resistance at some point. If the pull rope comes out slowly with no resistance you may have no compression. It should feel easy then harder then easy. Only when you pull the rope slowly. If you haver no compression you will need to take it to a small engine mechanic or someone that could look into it a little further.
