Troy-Bilt Snow Blower With Fuel In The Oil and Carb Clean

[@allex_p]

I just returned a beautiful 2 step 24" Troy-Bilt blower after one week because the engine was surging and stalling out of the box. It was a nice machine for it's price. I didn't want to get into repairs so soon, can't trust it anymore so I took it to the store, they tested and accepted a refund. I will try to get another one and I will try to fuel it up in the parking before taking it home, so I make sure the engine runs smooth if it will have oil in it (the one that I returned came with oil).

Unfortunately, a lot of new machines are adjusted to be so lean out of the box that they surge. Not something you should have to deal with though as a consumer

@@brantsmallenginerepairs I wonder if I should buy the same thing. This week I need to decide. Any suggestions for this price level (1500-1700CAD)? Thanks

@@allex_p you can't go wrong with an Ariens but ultimately it comes down to features you want or need.

@@brantsmallenginerepairs I appreciate it. Thanks

Toro Power Max 824 is the new toy. The engine runs great. I will update after the first snow.

the new style blowers- bad desine . I will stick with my 1989 montgomery ward

They certainly don't make stuff like they used to. Thanks for watching. Cheers

I service the carb on the machine by simply removing the carb bowl, This one of the worst junk to work on. Shame on the engineers

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

I definitely agree that the design of this machine is appalling if you need to work on the carb.
