MTD Troy Bilt Snow Blower Won't Start Carburetor Cleaning and Repair

Hard to believe people would criticize because you held video in one hand. The video gave me the confidence to attempt cleaning carb. Thank you for the invaluable demonstration.

[@IndRepair]

Yeah I was ready for the criticism but thank you for your reply! I am glad it helped you get back up and going. Only reason I made this video is that there was not another video out there doing this repair. Thanks again Jim!

[@heavymechanic2]

This job is a real PITA, even changing the primer bulb when it is dry rotted is challenging. Only done this once in the 15 years I owned this type snowblower.

[@billcunningham361]

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU. YOUR VID WAS THE BEST. I'M NOT OVERLY MECHANICALLY INCLINED BUT WITH MUCH RESERVATION I TOOK IT ON AND IT DIDN'T RUN. AFTER PLUGGING IN THE SPARK PLUG CABLE, IT FIRED RIGHT UP.

[@IndRepair]

Glad to hear Bill! Thank you for watching!

[@davidadler8501]

This video is fantastic! It helped me replace my carburetor on my MTD Series 600 circa 2008. It's been dead since 2016. I literally watched segments over and over as I was installing to see the placements of the gaskets and the installation of the linkage and the choke. My snowblower started on the second pull and was purring like a kitten. This video saved me the cost of a new snowblower! Thank you!!!

[@IndRepair]

Glad to hear. Thank you David!

[@marty1966]

Brother, you saved me a lot of heartache. And a lot of money no doubt. One year old Troy built 2660, couldn't get it started. Starter fluid through the spark plug hole I could get a brief Pop or two. But that was it. Took the carburetor apart give it a good old cleaning, found a goober in the hole of that screw in the center of the carburetor that had the jets on the other side. Blew it out cleaned it, put it all back together and it fired right up. I mean I was going to bring it to a local power equipment company for warranty service, but you know how that goes. They would have found something that wasn't covered so they could make a few bucks. Once again, thank you very much for this detailed video.

[@IndRepair]

Sure thing Marty! Sad part is that the quality of fuel was probably the only issue with your one year old troy bilt. Taken in for warranty work you would have waited 2-4 weeks and been told you would have to pay for it any way most times since fuel issues are not covered under warranty

[@marty1966]

@@IndRepair you are exactly right, they told me on the phone that fuel issues are not covered by warranty. So if I drained my fuel last year, but still had a clog. What do you recommend? Should I be looking at like airplane grade fuel or something? I think I read that somewhere, if that's crazy then feel free to let me know lol.

[@IndRepair]

@@marty1966 Ethanol and moisture are the issues, sadly it takes staying on top of starting monthly for exercise time of 10-20 minutes and keeping the tank full of a stabilized ethanol free fuel to prevent issues. Lot of work...of just clean the carburetor every year...nice and easy

It's August and I am working on a 26" Yard Machines snow blower! It is electric start, that works good, and it will fire up on a shot of starting fluid into the spark plug hole. NOW, getting all of the covering off to get to the carburetor for removal. Your video told me about the hidden bolt(s) that I have to find that are behind the electric start push button. My only concern at this point, is getting the emulsion tube out of the carb. I know that a perfect fitting screw driver to remove the jet below it is mandatory. But, it is warm and I am working outside, so all should be good. Thanks again for your video.

[@edwardstachowiak4000]

Thanks for the one handed video i picked up enough information to remove my carb and clean it out. My snowblower would not start just cranked over seemed not to be getting fuel. I used carb cleaner on the carb and all the disassembled parts as you showed on the video. My snowblower was a little different (newer) but basic's remained the same. After reassembled i used SeaFoam in my gas and cranked up the baby. Boom it started right up ....let it run about 20 minutes and let the Seafoam help clean things up. Yes i am a happy camper thank you i am ready to work on the lawn mower next spring ;)

Best video for replacing the carburetor on our Craftsman snowblower. Other videos have you taking off the tire and chute control mechanism. Not necessary, as this video shows! Fast, easy repair.

That is the most common approach to this repair but definitely not needed if you know what to do. Thank you for watching!

[@JonnyLionMan]

The assembly of the lawn mower could be done without any problems kzbin.infoUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend I just puzzled something about the red strange “key”. However, it quickly turned out that this creates a kind of contact bridge between battery packs and lawn mowers. An additional backup as a father of a 1 year old nephew is great!! :-)

You should know that your video is helping at least one person. My garage is not heated and I am busy with other things. I will try to remember to let you know how well I do. I expect that I will succeed. The good thing is that I have another, less powerful, snow blower that is running.

[@miket4224]

That carburetor has way too many parts for me. I doubt if I would ever get it back together. I am going to order a new one. I will keep you posted.

[@IndRepair]

New is not to bad of a way to go on these. Aftermarket ones seem to work well and are almost identical in quality.

[@miket4224]

Thanks.

[@danielb5081]

Just what I needed to know - how to get to the carb in the most efficient way. Only difference I can see is mine has another bolt between the front of engine and snow chute. I'm just going to swap out the carb cuz I know it's the problem. Son-in-law let it sit unused for 5 years after I gave it to him and there was no gas in the float bowl when I checked even though gas tank was half full. I smelled turpentine trying to start it which I assume (but don't know) might be cuz gas that has started to destabilize and break down might smell like. It's only about ~$25 for a replacement on Azon and I have had excellent results with doing the same on my lawnmower and power washer. My Yard Machines 2410 uses a Powermore 179cc engine (which is a rebranded MTD OEM). However the choke, speed, prime pump, on/off key and top cover are all in the same location. I might add that I can't believe there is not a fuel filter of gas shutoff valve. WTF??

[@IndRepair]

Definitely agree a new carboy be the best way to go. There is a fuel filter inside the tank at the fuel line outlet nipple

[@steelhanded11]

Great video man!!! I have a question though.. theres a little yellowish orange plug/cap down infront of the muffle that says oil on it.. is that a different oil than the 5w30 oil required at the top of the motor next to the gas tank??

[@IndRepair]

They are both just access points to the oil reservoir so they both go to the same place. They make them like this so they can be used in different applications without any modifications. Thanks for watching!!

[@steelhanded11]

@@IndRepair thank you!!! Now when putting everything back together i notice and wire with a small plug/electrical connector hanging out beneath the starter.. i can't find where it plugs into or what its for???

[@frankcptn]

Great instructions, saves many unnecessary steps.

[@IndRepair]

Thank you Frank

[@nlathrop]

Great video and easy to follow. Was able to get the carburetor off (completely clogged and now clean) and gas back to flowing normally. Only one problem, when I put it back the gasket seemed OK between engine / intake but it leaks gas and wont start. Should I assume the gasket is bad? Thanks!

[@IndRepair]

The needle and seat in the carburetor is not sealing then. Only way the intake gasket will leak any gas

[@chrispurse6950]

I always replace gaskets. Just a habit.

[@IndRepair]

@@chrispurse6950 Never a bad idea

[@MegaDknox]

Very informative video. Is it possible to take the center jet out to clean it without taking the carb off?

[@IndRepair]

It is possible but difficult to do for most people. If the tank is empty you can remove the bottom bolt on the carburetor, unscrew the center jet, lift snow blower and "drop" to remove the jet. Again, not a real easy way to do this and if the carburetor is full of ethanol gunk it will usually not come out with this method

[@MegaDknox]

@@IndRepair thanks

[@scottmadter8976]

Good morning! Great video, followed all the directions however the snow blower still won't start. I think I've narrowed the problem down to the ignition coil, do you have any videos on how to replace the ignition coil? Thanks in advance.

[@IndRepair]

I do not have a video on this unfortunately. We do not usually have issues with these coils. Have you tried testing the spark with the kill wire detached from the ignition coil?

[@rudyhudale6777]

thanks now i know where my carb is located without ripping everything apart

[@IndRepair]

Glad to help

[@jonm183]

I have the Troy belt 2410 that won’t start. Pretty sure it’s because last years fuel was not drained. It will run if I keep spraying carb cleaner or put fuel in the carb. Will cleaning solve this issue? Should I soak the parts in carb cleaner? Don’t have the ultrasonic cleaner. Thanks

[@IndRepair]

Yes, soak and clean

[@75hdfxe]

I have the same snow blower and yesterday it was working fine and then the idle shot up really high and won't come down unless I'm choking it. I haven't accessed the carburetor yet. I'm hoping to find something simple like the throttle return spring came off. Could this cause out of control idle? If not what else should I look for? This video gave me a great head start, thanks.

[@IndRepair]

Linkage is most likely not attached or ethanol has gummed up the throttle body

[@75hdfxe]

@@IndRepair Thanks. Looking forward to going in there to see what's going on. Only part I'm nervous about is getting the choke and throttle knobs off without causing damage.

[@75hdfxe]

Got in there yesterday. All the linkages and springs were still in place but the governor arm was stuck in the high rpm position. I freed it and moved it back and forth several times. Put it back together and the RPM's are back to normal. The last time I used it the snow was really wet and heavy and it was struggling to stay running. Maybe the governor arm was pushed farther than normal to keep it running. Hopefully this holds up so I don't have to go inside to get at the governor gear. Thanks for your help.

[@IndRepair]

@@75hdfxe this normally happens when the unit has been sitting for a long time. Have you cleaned the carburetor and put fresh fuel in it?

[@johnjacobson3901]

I liked the video. One problem. If you damage the o rings on the upper jet (plastic press fit) you have to buy a whole new carburetor. They dont make rebuild kits. Dont put that jet in carb cleaner. Eats the o rings.

[@IndRepair]

This does sometimes happen with carburetor cleaner exposure to the o-rings depending on their original shape. We use simple green in our ultrasonic, which does not damage them. Mtd does make a rebuild kit for this carburetor that runs about $20. There is also an Oregon version, they both come with the all the jets, float, needles, gaskets, etc.

According to 5 dealers. They do not have replacement parts available for mine. Off a craftsman 179cc blower.

Billy R You need to get the model and serial number on the machine itself not the motor

[@bigpapa8635]

Have you ever had any issues with this exact motor with the choke and linkage, where the choke is actually on when it’s in the run position and the choke is actually off when you have the dial turned back counter clockwise to where it says it’s on?

[@IndRepair]

bigpapa no, never have I ran into this....

[@chvydrptop]

Great video, question the screw above the top jet @7:08 in your video, when reinstalling this does it have a specfic position or just bottom the screw out?

[@IndRepair]

You will screw it in usually so about 1/4" is sticking out the back side. This is the low idle stop. If the unit is all the way on slow idle, this controls how fast or slow it runs at that point. It will not affect full throttle speed, unless there is an underlying issue from an air leak, bad fuel or a plugged up carburetor. Any of those could make it surge.

[@billsmith3563]

Amazon has new carburetors for around $20 for most models, it's easier to replace than rebuild and will save alot of time.

[@IndRepair]

This is shown for those that want to fix it themselves or do not have time to wait for a new carburetor. With these carburetors make sure to open, inspect and clean anyway to ensure no metal shavings make their way into causing you more problems. Thanks for watching!

[@billsmith3563]

Great video, sorry, wasn't trying to say anything negative. I was actually surprised, ordered the carburetor on Thursday, received it on Friday and installed it. Hit the primer 3 times and pulled only once, it started and ran like new.

[@IndRepair]

I understand completely! Aftermarket carburetors used to be a definite no but quality has come quite a ways in the last 10 years. Just always check the float bowl on them for sure

[@UpNorthMexi]

I did this cleaning and it starts up kinda quite and then shuts down right away.. any idea what it could be??

[@IndRepair]

Would probably need a video or some more information... On or off choke it starts?

[@CaptKeo]

There is no way I could do all that so I take it to a local dealer charges $160 so I was thinking of just replacing the carb with a new one. Any idea what a new carb would cost? Thank you.

I have one question. at the beginning you showed you removed the electric starter... was it necessary? Also as a suggestion for everyone who doesn't have the cleaning products and tools (like myself), replacing the carburetor all together might be a good option as it is sometimes less than 20$ on Amazon.

[@IndRepair]

We remove the screws for the electric start, only one is actually required to be removed for the plastic to come off. A new carburetor is an option but beware that many of those Chinese carburetors are a lot different on the inside than the original. They also leak gas or fail regularly from what I have seen
