Start your Troy-Bilt Storm 2410 SnowBlower!

Easy fix:
If you watch this video you will see there is a brass bowl below the carburetor. It is accessible between the tire and frame. There are (2) 10mm bolts on this brass bowl. Drain all the gas from the tank with a siphon back into a gas container. Unscrew the bolt that's off center to empty the gas out off the brass bowl. If no fuel comes out of the bowl that is a good sign that the jet is clogged! Make sure to catch that in a separate cup. Then unscrew the center bolt and the brass bowl will come off with a black rubber o-ring. Next use a small flat head screwdriver to unscrew the brass screw from the center shaft, see this video on the detached carburetor. When you unscrew this you will have 2 brass pieces total. Clean both as shown in this video. Then put the long brass jet back in the center hole. Hold it in place as you screw the small brass screw back in place. Then reattached the brass bowl with the black rubber o-ring and be sure both bolts are tight. Refill gas and your unit should start.

Excellent video!

[@jab3879]

Like many other people on here, this worked like a charm. Thanks

[@juanmsanch8]

Thanks to your video I was able to fix my snowblower. It was really detailed and helpful Thanks.

[@koshkasservant]

Thank you for posting this video. It got my snow blower working again.

[@dokterdon]

It started right up after following these directions! Thank you!

[@danielclark6595]

Saved my back from a major Michigan blizzard headed our way. Thanks for the tutorial

[@greglinnemanstons4112]

Great demo! Hope my 1-year old 2410 will start now because it wouldn't last night! Which is why I watched your video. Thanks!

[@MrGaspasser3]

You just saved me a bunch of money! Thank you for making this video!

[@steveo6786]

DUDE. Thank you. the part about the o ring is very helpful

Fantastic video! Thank you for posting it!

[@richardreed4331]

Followed your instructions which were very easy to understand 2 pulls started smooth ready for Izzy! Thank you!!

[@kyled3736]

Great video. The bottom piece was plugged right in the middle. Just blew some compressed air through it and fired right up. Thank you for going into detail about the o ring.

[@djdobesh4289]

Just did this to mine 10 mins ago and it started right up! Thanks

[@danielhidalgo81]

Worked like a charm! Thanks for the video!

[@ezdozit06]

Thank you so much Chris for posting this video. You saved me a lot of work money n time.

[@abemud]

Thanks! Just tried this on Christmas eve and it worked!

[@robsaulino9432]

Thank you for your video, this helped me get my snow blower running. I was not able to get the jet out, but I was able to get the straw of the carb cleaner into the shaft after taking out the screw and I spayed the jet as best as possible. Reassembled everything and unit started after 2nd attempt!!

[@jimkel782]

Worked like a charm. Thank you!

[@jasonweeks3137]

Rock on buddy! Thanks for the help! I had to take the whole carburetor off to get the little flute to drop. But it started right up after cleaning it. Premium gas from now on in the small engines.

[@mehulmodi2649]

Thank you so much, I had the same problem, left the gas after the season and it wouldn’t start. I followed this and tipped the snow blower on auger housing for better access. Thanks again!!

[@tomtom3576]

Sweet thanks dude! Save me time and money 💰

Thank you very much. This is very helpful and I am able to fix my Snow blower starting issues

[@atlasbaja]

' Great video. You really helped me man! She's back up and running with 6"-8" on the way tomorrow! Love it!

[@ubatch]

First video that popped up when I searched “troybilt storm 2410 won’t start.” Saved my butt today since we’re expected to get 8” of snow for the first time this winter 😂 thanks you!

[@swaggerjacker1482]

As numerous others have posted already -Thank You- my storm 2460 wouldn’t start, watched numerous videos on KZbin, finally saw and watched yours. Pulled the jet out, it was partially clogged. Used a needle to unplug. Reinstalled. Fired right up. Before when I would prime it it didn’t seem like it was getting fuel. After I did that the first pump of the primer I could tell a difference. Thank you again so much

[@jereschneck1382]

My son in law had let his 2410 snow blower set for a few seasons due to lack of snow and he didn't drain out the old gas. He went to start it last season when we had lots of snow and it wouldn't start. Unit was essentially brand new. I said I would help him get it going this season and found this great video on cleaning the carburetor jet. The video is well done and the process outlined works. I just finished the cleaning process as outlined in the video and the unit started up on the first try. A few tips I want to reinforce from other commenters. 1. Placing the snow blower 90 degrees from normal position to rest on the auger blade casing is a good tip. That really makes getting to the jet screw and removal of the jet nozzle much easier. You can now see into that center float guide barrel. 2. The jet nozzle didn't fall down or out for me. Using a unwound paper clip as suggested by others allowed me to get the end of the clip into the nozzle hole and gently coax the nozzle out. That worked great too. Cleaned the nozzle holes with a needle and carb cleaner, they were gummed up, and reinstalled. Reinstallation with the unit resting on the auger blade casing made that step a breeze, horizontal install vs vertical. Added clean gas, cleaned the spark plug and the unit started right up. Great video and commenter tips! I learned some more since my last post. Discussed the gunk problem with Troy Bilt tech support since this emulsion tube blocking happens very quickly. They advised the issue is the ethanol gas and recommended me to use non ethanol gas such as Trufuel, found it sold at Lowes. Also advised to not let fuel in the system for more than 30 days. Last advice was to run the system dry when done snow blowing and then drain the carburetor bowl. Sounds like a lot but that's what it may take to prevent future carb gunk from forming.

[@unionbetty]

Nice video and good information, The only thing different would be to pull your pull cord out until there is resistance then give it a good pull,works all the time. thank you for this channel. P.S. I'm not Betty that's my wife I'm frank

[@georgemcclelland1139]

Thank you so much!! I just watched this for the first time and did exactly what you said. It fired right up for me!!!

[@debragalardi5121]

Very clear video and perfect instructions. Thank you so much.

[@ronensor690]

Appreciate the video. Followed step for step. Fired right up

[@changyo120]

[@thelastmohican01]

I tried almost everything was sbout to give up until i saw this video. Did what u said but used break cleaner snd it started right up. Thank you!!

[@thegormanfamily1]

Thanks will try tomorrow

[@meyerfamilyadventures2898]

Just did this and it worked!

[@m.a.bushling]

Thanks for the video! We're supposed to get 10" of snow tomorrow and my parents couldn't get theirs to start. They're good to go now! If you can't get the brass jet out, we used a very fine crochet hook. Fed it up inside the shaft, caught it with the hook, and it came right out.

[@dancollinsandapiano]

Thanks! I do wonder how many peoples’ success with this fix is merely due to bad gas being replaced… either way, love a good tutorial!

[@danolson3581]

Thank you for the video; it was very helpful. Let me add a couple things. Without having any tubing I wondered how to siphon the gas, but then it dawned on me that I could use a turkey baster. The first couple of screwdrivers that I used to remove the brass screw in the shaft did not work. What did work was to use a medium size (whatever that means!) screwdriver along with lying the snowblower on its side. There is a little hole in the shaft and I could actually see the screw turning. Problem solved. Well, not really because when I placed the snowblower upright again the brass shaft did not fall out. I gave up and put it all back together again. But I watched another video on this problem in which the guy who made the video said that it took him 30 minutes to get the brass shaft out. So I'm not the only one who struggled with this. Rather than just try harder, I put some gas in the tank along with some Techron that I happened to have lying around. The reasoning was that maybe the Techron would dissolve away the goop holding the brass cylinder in the shaft. After standing overnight, I repeated the whole process of removing the screw in the shaft. This time when I put the snowblower in the upright position the brass screw and the brass cylinder fell right out. I used a very fine sewing needle to clean the holes in the brass cylinder even though they didn't appear to be plugged up to the naked eye. After rinsing the cylinder with a little Techron, I put it all back together and it started on the first pull. Many thanks to you cdiilio.

[@MileHighInTheSky]

This actually worked for me. However, I ran into additional issues. In order to remove the jet, I had to remove a wheel. This caused other issues, and all of a sudden the wheels wouldn’t move. So I had to remove the cover from the drive shaft. A piece had fallen out. I was able to put everything back together, and it finally started AND moved. However, now it leaks gas when I prime. I’m sure this is a pretty simple fix though. Probably just an issue with the gasket. Inany case, this WORKED on my 2140!! Thank you!!!!

[@MileHighInTheSky]

Update: after watching the video again, I realized I put the jet in backwards and didn’t grease the seal. Very important. After doing it over again, it runs perfect. Please pay careful attention to his instructions and learn from my mistakes! So thankful for this video. Thanks again!!! My issues were purely my fault.

[@jamesgasca3600]

Great informative video. Thumbs up!!!

[@toms6756]

A family member moved and gave me this snowblower and only used it once the year before. I followed this video and got it running. Here I am a year later and it won't start again so I am back. Thank you for this video, of all the videos I watched, this one made it super easy!

[@stephenwilloughby4624]

This video is fantastic. I'm an idiot with this stuff, but after multiple attempts and several views of this video, some carb cleaner, I was able to get the snowblower fired up and running! Thank you so much!

[@mv-eg1wt]

8" on the ground here in Montana and a 2 year old 2410 that won't start. You, my new friend, have saved the day for this 69 year old guy. Thank you.

[@dees4130]

How in the world could you not give this video a thumbs up??? This man is a genius!!! This video saved me hundreds of dollars and having to shovel almost a foot of snow. My blower had been in storage for almost two years. Major snow storm was coming and snow blower would not start. Followed this video step by step and it worked!!! I do recommend removing the wheel first to allow extra space when removing the center bolt if you don't have a small screwdriver. Also, be prepared to catch both pieces when removing the center bolt. I almost lost the first piece because it came out unexpectant and I couldn't find it when it hit the ground. Thanks again!!!

[@msuguydon]

My snowblower would not start., it was brand new last year. Screwed around for an hour and a half trying to get it started. No luck. Came in googled and watched this video. Followed the instructions. BOOOM, 30 minutes later... started on the 2nd pull. Can not thank you enough for posting this video. I am sure your saved me at least $150 bucks and hassle. YOU THE MAN!

[@GeoffreyLawrence-et1yk]

Great video! Worked like a charm. I saw many other videos by professional mechanics who did not seem aware that the brass fuel jet could be removed with a screwdriver. Thank you.

[@loveraymond3886]

hey, thank you very much! You just save my one year old blower. I have to blow my drive way and the blower is not starting. You just saved my blower and my day. Thank you very much!

[@ptn2ptn2]

I took mine carburetor out and it didn't look clogged or gummy at all. Nevertheless, I followed your instruction to give it a good scrub, put the cover back and it started! Thanks for the video!

[@joeruggia9367]

This guy in this video is DEAD ON ....CORRECT .......awesome video man

[@aaronbennett5246]

I also had an old gas issue that was preventing my snowblower from starting. I couldn't get anything to fire when attempting to start with the electric start. I filled the tank with new gas and removed the drain screw from the carb bowl to get the old gas purged. Reinstalled the drain screw and sprayed a little carb cleaner into the carb air intake. She started right up after that. (My biggest concern was breaking something pulling off the choke knob to get the plastic cover off, but it popped right off when I used a little leverage.) Now that I've fixed it once, I'm hoping to be able to do it next time without pulling the plastic cover.

[@KorinZynn]

Just did this with the help of my father in law! Worked perfectly! Just in time for 9 inches of snow tomorrow.

[@toddricher5083]

Not sure who is more surprised that I fixed my snowblower.... Me or my wife.....LOL Thank You!!!!!!

[@jwwarrington1]

Super helpful. Just was gifted a one year old version of this from a neighbor. He left the gas in it from last season. Drained it out and put fresh gas in and no luck. Went through this process and it started immediately. Thank you!

[@mariadavies9963]

I'll try that now. I hope it works.

[@nicholassmith6117]

Thank you so much for the upload. I am horrible with anything mechanical as far as diagnosing what the problem or solution is. This video was perfect and helped me fix my snowblower! Thank you!

[@cjestcloud]

Lithium grease works, as well. This procedure worked perfectly for me. Thanks you VERY much.

[@maxhermans4111]

Best video ever!nice job!

[@NIstrumone]

I had the issues you showed on your video....I followed your cleaning steps and machine roared back to life....great video

[@cdiilio]

As the author of this video thought you might get a kick out of the fact that I did not follow my own advice and drain the gas last year. But with other good comments and advice it only took me 15 minutes to get it up and running this morning!

[@93hostang]

A few things... First of all. Thank you for posting this, it saved my ass today after the nor'easter we had last night! Secondly. for anyone whom has the misfortune of owning one of these Troy Bilt, Craftsman, MTD etc... plan on this being a part of your yearly maintenance/storage regimen. When removing the jet not just any flathead will fit. The head will need to be narrow, and the blade can't be very thick. Hollow ground screwdrivers would work best. I used a needle to clean the holes in the jet, but you can use a pipe cleaner by carefully threading it through the center of the jet to remove larger debris. My parents very graciously bought this for Christmas 3 years ago along with an extended "warranty". I was able to use it 3 or for times that season and put it away until the following year. I use the same gas for all of my equipment (93 octane only!). Second year, first storm, go to fire it up and nothing... Had the warranty so back to Lowes it went. I conveniently got it back the next spring... They said it was bad gas, the same gas that I had been using in my mower, trimmer etc... Never a problem with them. No snow worth blowing last year. Something told me I should prep it for this season, but I didn't. Went to fire it up today, and nothing. It would only run on ether. I knew it was the carb, and a few clicks later I found your video. I took it apart per your instructions, cleaned and reassembled. Still needed ether to get it going, and it wouldn't stay running unless I left it fully choked, and even then it ran pig rich and was surging. So I know I have to pull the carb and thoroughly douche it out. I have never in my life had this many issues with a small engine, and I have worked on hundreds of them. Design flaw, maybe? I know the ethanol content in current gas is what is causing it to gum up, but seriously when you use the same fuel on older equipment year after year w/o issue is certainly infuriating! I am damn close to putting a for sale sign on it and buying a better unit, or at least one with a better motor i.e. honda, kohler, anything that doesn't share this OHV pos. Rant over lol, thank you again for the info. It definitely got me out of a bind this afternoon, but I know I am going to need to pull it apart again and really clean it well. -Chris-

[@peterwerner651]

One more thing. I did as other viewers did and tipped machine on its front auger while working on it. Also removed the one tire on carb side to allow better access so as to apply more leverage on the screw driver in turning that tough little brass screw out. Tapping lightly with hammer at end of driver as you suggested made the difference in getting it out turning LEFT, counter clockwise.

[@LeslieN317537]

The pin didn't look that bad, I still cleared it and now my snowblower works!! Thank you from Wisconsin and 12in of snow!

[@roberthedden1407]

Thank you for the video, watched it and cleaned the jets. Put it all back together and it fired right up! The only thing I did different was to push the machine forward onto the blade cage to for better access to remove and then reinstall the jet and the bowl. That also kept the o ring right in place.

[@danm8957]

Worked like a charm. I couldn't start after 2 seasons. Followed the video step by step and it turned right over. Thx man!

[@ellorente32]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!. Followed your vid and it cranked up. Thank you.

[@blabath]

cdillo, Add me o the list of folks here that think you are awesome. 8" of snow expected tonight and a snow blower that wouldn't start. Plenty of spark, no gas. Your video was excellent and following its instructions did the trick. Thanks again for posting it.

[@VDsnorkel]

The procedure worked perfect Thanks

[@geraldboardman2588]

You are my hero! I thought I had put away for the summer correctly, but couldn't start for the storm. I even set up an appointment to get fixed but gave your video a try...IT WORKED!!! Made me feel like my father!

[@cdiilio]

I appreciate all the kind words. I felt the same way when my unit wouldn’t start. So I figured if I could help just a few people it would be worth it:) Thanks again Chris

[@jeffmelton1126]

How did you remove the choke know without breaking it?

[@bradf3654]

I cannot express how much I appreciate you for this video. #Not all heroes wear capes!!!

[@rodwray5567]

Thanks for the help. I found your video last year and I did this last year and it worked. This year when it wouldn't start, to save time and work, I turned the machine on its side so the fuel wouldn't run, took off the brass dome, and then put the little tube on a can of starter fluid (like the tube with compressed air or WD40 spray) put it in the shaft into the brass screw that holds the jet piece, and gave it a good blast. Put it back together and set it upright and it fired right up.

[@matthewsanayaramdeo6447]

Love it. Thank you so much. Mine was a year old and wouldn't start. After watching your video, started so easy. We had so much snow today. Thanks a million.

[@faceup5]

THANK YOU! Because of your video, I got my snow blower running again. I would just add two tips. Tip the snow blower up 90 degrees in the "service" position to make the job a bit easier. Also, be careful using Vaseline on rubber o-rings. It's petroleum based and isn't recommended on rubber.

[@rayendres2808]

Thank you! Great Video! I pulled the bowl and saw gunk in it and knew this was going to work. We're expecting snow tomorrow and thanks to you I'm ready.

[@steven6944]

I would recommend removing the tire. Made life much easier. I spent an entire evening on this little project. Thank you for the video.

[@adammartin4524]

I also removed the tire but can’t seem to get it back on. It’s like the axel isn’t extending as far as it should. Did you have to take off both tires?

[@zstringer999]

Thanks so much for this video. Waited too long to try out my snowblower this season, and couldn't get it started with 3" on the ground and more on the way! I tilted it forward to remove the cover, brought it back to let the pieces drop out, cleaned them and I was on my way. Thanks!!!

[@h0bbes1993]

Thank you! I waited until today to test the snowblower and it would NOT start. Big snow on the way this weekend, so was stressed out. Yours was the first and last video i needed to watch. Completely fixed now!

[@dbigdad]

Thank you! I think I have found the problem. I tried cleaning the carb bowl and idle jet but wasn't aware of this one. I'm getting fuel out of the drain now, but will only start with ether. I am going to try this procedure next and I bet it will run!

[@MileHighInTheSky]

Just wanted to comment again, this absolutely works!!! Follow instructions closely. Make sure you put everything back together as he shows. I have a 2140, and had to remove a wheel in order to remove the jet (not enough room). Be very careful when removing the wheel, as there is a drive shaft with parts that can easily fall out (look up “high-pro key”). The key dropped out, and you can’t put it back in without removing the drive housing. It was simple enough when I was able to figure it out, but took a while. I lost this little key several times, but was thankfully able to recover it. My point is, anyone can do this, but make sure you have the proper tools and don’t be careless like I was.

[@pankem]

just wanted to say THANKS... saved me so much time troubleshooting and worked like a champ

[@dicarlo57]

Learn to use the primer/plunger. Cover the hole with "the" thumb and push the bulb until you hear the fuel squish. Then push 4 times while releasing "the" thumb. It should fire on the first pull.

[@ThanhNguyen-es7bh]

Thanks for the video. This helped me get my snowblower started after 5 months of being stored in my garage.

[@benpannone6901]

Thanks so much for this video! I was able to fix mine. Just in time for a huge snow storm!! I was a bit nervous though since the jet did not look clogged at all. I cleaned it anyway. I didn’t have to remove the o ring either or the cover. I just took the screws off and was able to put it back together. Put gas in it, primed and it started!! On to snow blowing! Thx again!!

[@josephwright3168]

Did this tonight after installing a new plug and putting in fresh fuel. Worked like a charm. Started right up! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@Robertlaw79]

Just want to say thank you! This worked perfectly for me as I am an idiot and left gas in my tank all summer. Seriously saved me hundreds of dollars to get it serviced. Thank you and happy holidays. You are the man!

[@kf9233]

Thanks. At a time where I just can't throw money around plus wait wks for a repair shop to fix. I like working with my hands anyway. Manual showed squat. These companies don't want you to be able to fix at home. You've been great!

[@CJ230k]

You seriously saved me from throwing my blower in front of an on coming snow plow. Got 6+ inches of snow last weekend (first substantial snow in 2 years), and the stupid thing wouldn't start, so had to shovel the whole drive by hand. It's 4 or 5 years old and basically brand new, as I've only used it 10 times max, so I was baffled why it wouldn't start. Did what you showed and she fired up first pull. Thanks man!

[@aaronbaker8202]

You literally saved me over $200 and 4-5 weeks that was quoted to me from my local mower/engine repair shop!! I followed the video exactly and my snowblower fired right up!! Thanks!

[@miketurner983]

like the rest of the comments ... thank you so much did what you said and it fired right up.. great video so helpful ...

[@sbfreedom6791]

This video was well done and very very helpful !!!

[@ralphpasacrita3744]

I thank you for posting this excellent quality video! My Storm 2665 ran fine last winter (used twice) but wouldn't start this year. The bowl looked and wiped clean. I had to remove the wheel to access the brass jet. I could see light through the holes in the jet, but cleaned them out anyway and sprayed everything with carb cleaner, including up into the shaft. Electric start got it going on first push of the button. Would draw user attention to orientation of the brass fuel jet...goes in exactly as you have shown when lying the parts out on the rag. I had a difficult time removing it, and failed to pay attention to the orientation when it came out...had to check the video again. Thanks again!

[@HowardChr]

I've never attempted engine work before but thought I'd give it a try to avoid a costly repair. This worked perfectly!!!! Thank you for this awesome video!
