Won't start? Troy Bilt snowblower carb cleaning, the easy way.

[@ianlovi1]

Thanks for the video. Was just tying to get my father in law’s snowblower going yesterday, hadn’t been used in years. I checked everything and new it was a fuel problem. This way makes it so much easier to get to the jets! 👍

[@SHONEY21Z]

For sure. Sometimes it’s necessary to remove the whole carb and do a bull clean but sometimes it’s just got some gum in the jets and this is the quickest way to get to them

[@ianlovi1]

@@SHONEY21Z For sure.. other videos I watched everyone took all the covers off etc. To take the carb off to get to the jets. Way simpler your way. There’s always a trick right!

When You do enough of them, sometimes in people’s driveways and 20* outside, you learn how to do it as fast as you can.

Aucun problème 👍

nice tip on removing the wheel thanks

[@SHONEY21Z]

Happy to help. Thanks for commenting

[@tomlewis3658]

Thanks, this was very informative. I was thinking you would have to push the emulsion tube down from above, to clean it. I like the idea to use a pick to grab it. That's one I will remember. Good that the pilot jet was OK, and saved the trouble of tearing into the plastic covers.

[@SHONEY21Z]

Glad it helped. I’m in the process of showing how to clean the pilot jet only without removing the carb. Just have to do the editing.

Two more things learned today - pick to remove emulsion tube and tipping the snowblower forward and removing the wheel to make the carb bowl accessible. Nice! One other thing I would have mentioned - putting a piece of plastic bag or ziploc under the fuel cap if your tank has a lot of gas in it.

[@SHONEY21Z]

This doesn’t always work but sometimes you get lucky and only need to clean the main and emulsion tube. If it doesn’t, then you have to take off the plastic cover. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Short cuts or not the answer you need to take the carburetor off

[@SHONEY21Z]

i'm confused by your comment... most times you do need to take the carb off to clean the needle/inside passages/pilot jet, however, in some cases, only the main jet gets clogged and you can get to it this way easily. This will not work if the carb is moderately, or worse, varnished and gummed up. this is just a possible way to get the main jet clear if gas sat just a little too long but not to the point of carb needing to be soaked and ultrasonic cleaned. Hope this helps.
