How to Clean Snow Blower Carburetor - Troy Bilt 2410 👍 ❄️🧽

[@wvn8v]

Thank you very much for making and posting this video. This was exactly what was wrong with my snow blower and now it runs like it did when it was new. Much appreciated.

[@ThatGuyReviews]

glad it helped and for your comment!!!

[@rickl5938]

I found that you don't need to remove the carburetor to clean the jets. I just removed the drain bolt from the carburetor bowl and drained the fuel tank. Then I removed the float w/needle valve, removed and cleaned the main jet and cleaned the other jet with a wire brush bristle. I saw someone's comment that placing the snow thrower on its chute to do this. Never thought of that, but that's a really good idea IMO. Thanks for that. Also, great video. Thank you.

[@jamesdobkins1153]

Thank you for this video. I thought all was lost and finding a replacement carb was nearly impossible. I followed your video. And my snow blower came back to life!!! Thank you!

[@ThatGuyReviews]

Anytime James! Glad the video was helpful!

[@MDVideoFan]

You video was all i needed to clean out my fouled carb from my Storm 2410. Put the blower back together and it started up for the first time in 5 years. My hat is off to you! Thank you so much!

[@ThatGuyReviews]

Thank you for watching and commenting! Glad it worked

[@masterdrummer902]

My guy you are amazing. I have the 243cc version of this snowblower and it wouldn't start after 1 season. Followed your steps and started first pull of the cord. I am not a mechanical person but damnit I'm proud. Thanks man.

appreciate the support brother! thank you for the comment and don’t forget to share to help me out!

Between this video and your video on how to remove the carburetor, I was able to get my snow blower running again. Works just like it did when I bought it! Thanks!! With snow in the forecast, this was perfect!

[@ThatGuyReviews]

Robert! Thanks appreciate the comment! Watch out for more videos since we have snow in the forecast! Also, please share, like and subscribe!

Two thumbs up. Great video. Clear. Concise. Instructional. I my 2410 is less than a year old. I used it twice last year and did not do the proper summer prep hence it didn't start when I needed it to. I'm surprised at how fragile and sensitive to debris that carburetor is. Mine was mostly clean with a few trouble spots. 30 years ago I was a trained diesel mechanic and used to be an ace at repairing detroit diesel engines for a city bus company. Your video was a heck of a lot easier than reading an any mechanical instructional manual. Thanks!

[@ThatGuyReviews]

Any time Michael! Glad this video was helpful. Honestly I was in the same boat as you and with a one year old snow blower I had so much problems came next winter. I didn’t learn a lot and thought it was worth sharing my experience. Please like and subscribe if not already. I’m still trying to hit that 1,000 sub mark and any help would be appreciated! Thanks

[@clubberslang7626]

Just wanted to say thank you for the video. I didn't pull the carb but ended up only removing the bowl and the brass jet and cleaning it. Pretty filthy for only being run a few hours. Anyway, you set me on the right track. Thanks!

After watching another video on how to remove the carburetor I then watched this video on how to disassemble and clean it. Put everything back together and first pull it fired up right away. Can’t thank you enough. It’s getting cold here in WI and the wife was getting on my a$$ lol. Thank you!

Thank you so much, your machine is a diffrent brand from mine but exactly the same parts, my snowblower starts now, saved money on taking it to a small engine mechanic! I cleaned the little holes with a tip cleaner used for welding.

Well done video especially the notes above indexing the video time markers relating to the task parts. Thank you for your clear instruction; this will help me tackle the job myself since the repair shops are like 3 to 4 weeks out on repair orders and they expect you to leave the machine during that whole wait time; sheesh!

[@ThatGuyReviews]

I'm glad this helped out! Appreciate the comment John! I just got my snow blower up and running just in time for the snow fall!

[@jamesyee4143]

Looks easy!Thanks for the video.

[@ThatGuyReviews]

No problem!

[@huntfishexplore7636]

Video was very helpful. I got it cleaned out, there were just a few specks of dirt in there, put it back in ...and the snowblower still surges when I turn off the choke

[@huntfishexplore7636]

@@ThatGuyReviews only semi awesome. Got it apart and back together thanks to your vid. But surging problem continues!

[@huntfishexplore7636]

@@ThatGuyReviews ok so on top of the carb is a black plastic jet that you pry out and clean. That fixed mine. Runs perfect.

[@JimmyKay1976]

Did you clean the screen? He didn't mention that in the video

[@Jeff-vj3jp]

Followed your instruction 1-year ago and it worked out beautifully. I left gas in it until now and it's not starting so figured carb jet was gunked up. I first replaced the spark plug, oil and gas and it started up one time, but won't turn over again. So, I followed your carb instructions again. It started right up and I ran it for a few minutes and turned off. It won't turn over again and not sure why. Any idea what's going on?

[@Canoecamper]

If it's important for fit or function, I believe your carburetor bowl was reassembled with a 90 degree rotation from your disassembly position at the beginning of your video. While yours is the best of the three videos I've watched on carb disassembly and cleaning, I noted that in one of the other two videos the instructor specified that the drain bolt was supposed to be 180 degrees from the fuel inlet tube. Again, this matters only if it's important for fit or function in putting the cover back on.

[@ThatGuyReviews]

Love it! Appreciate you sharing! Helps everyone out

[@wrenchesandcars5161]

I have the same snowblower, and it doesn’t like to be re started once it gets warm. I’m going to try to clean the carb and do a valve adjustment and see if that fixes it

[@davidleahy9637]

What about the pilot jet Low rpm and idle circuit. Otherwise nice video.

[@tinkergene]

There are some real small holes in the throat of the carb on the throttle end - I use a strand of wire from a “ speaker wire “ - bent it on the end and clean the holes - be careful so you don’t break the end off - a wire from a wire brush may work - but may be to big

[@unfundedopportunities7278]

These carbs don't use needle seats? Where do you get O-rings and gaskets?

[@russellmaddock3492]

On the MTD carburetors with the metal fuel inlet, there is a screen behind the inlet elbow. Sometimes this screen can become plugged and needs to be cleaned. Using a pair of vise grips twist and pull slowly and it should come off. Using a pic, the screen can be removed and cleaned with carb cleaner. There is also an idle circuit jet that should be removed and cleaned. I think that was missed in this video. Other than that, great video.

[@russellmaddock3492]

I forgot to mention that on the PowerMore MTD engines with the metal fuel inlet elbow there is a screen behind the fuel inlet on the carburetor.

[@Jeff-vj3jp]

Instead of dismantling few external parts, have you tried to place snow blower up on its scoop to remove carburetor bowl to access jets from there? Would love your opinion on this process. Thank so much.

[@3rdPartyIntervener]

you can, but its a bit dicey getting the bowl float on and off w/o accidentally dropping the pin and losing it... don't ask me how I know this.

[@TR1CKSHOTS31]

I have a Troy bilt 2410 but my problem is that it has a rough idle, and works rough too.. I have to use choke to run it, it dies while on run 🥲 and it smells like gas, burns rich I guess how could I fix that?

[@ThatGuyReviews]

Yeah, not much you can do about the smell. It's part of owning a gas running snow blower.

[@juanjohnism]

Your low speed ( idler) jet it blocked. If your snow blower motor is surging or you need to have the choke on to keep the engine running smooth clean the low speed jet. Its under the idler plastic screw. Just use a small screw driver to get it out. Clean it with a thin wire strange and use carb cleaner also. Then you have completely cleaned the entire carb. 2 more minutes of time.

[@Jeff-vj3jp]

Thanks for the awesome video! I will rewatch your video and attempt the work this weekend. Do you think it would be okay to keep the old gas in the tank and burn it off after the carburetor is cleaned and put back together?

[@ThatGuyReviews]

thank you, i would drain it so the old gas doesnt clog your clean carb

[@Jeff-vj3jp]

@@ThatGuyReviews I followed your video and completed the job rather easily. Snow blower starts and sounds brand new. Thanks!

[@paulleblond615]

Hi! The main jet is stuck in the carburator it won't come out like it did with yours

[@Rechkalov7]

Can you clean the carburator with brake cleaner?.

[@keltingr2612]

There's also one more jet under the black plastic piece on the outside of the carburetor

[@Jeff-vj3jp]

Does this other jet need to be cleaned too? Is this usually an issue?

[@Kevro869]

So, for summer storage what is better, running the engine dry of fuel or using an additive?

[@ThatGuyReviews]

I personally run it dry, the additives only last a few months

[@chris.eskimo]

​@ThatGuyReviews Agreed. That's the best way to go. Also adding an inline fuel filter and shutoff will save alot of trouble in the future

[@ME-wq8lq]

Did it work?

[@ThatGuyReviews]

Yes!

[@adamschick828]

What should I do if the long part of the main jet won’t come out

[@Jeff-vj3jp]

I just worked on mine last night and only the screw came out and I was nervous the main jet wouldn't come out either. I banged it gently a few times and it popped right out. All good :)

[@ajgreen868]

I’ve found the best way to clean the jets is with a air compressor.

[@ThatGuyReviews]

thanks for sharing

[@gordonwrichert8240]

that is dried ethonal from the gasoline it happens when a machine sits for long time without being run you always want to drain the bowl if you are not going to use it to stop this problem

[@thekid4399]

19 bucks for a new carb on Amazon is the way to go.

[@martobee5760]

It took my dumb ass an hour for the entire process, if I had to do it again I’d be quicker, it’s worth the save to me

[@r6u356une56ney]

Its not a "cap". its the BOWL. Its on the bottom.

[@RealityOfFear]

Instead of removing the entire housing at the beginning. Could I just drain any remaining gas from the bowl and just disassemble the carb bowl and then remove the pin from cleaning. Instead of removing the carborator from the machine?

[@ThatGuyReviews]

yes but if there’s gunk stuck in the carb then it wont help. So try what you’ve suggested first

[@RealityOfFear]

@@ThatGuyReviews Thanks for all your help. I really do appreciate it. Sincerely.

You didn't clean the jet under the idle screw head.
