By the way at times it becomes colder here in Chicago, than in Nome, Alaska..! Thank you so much, buddy.

[@stephenmcnulty7096]

@@AveRage_Joe Hi Joe the first battery I repaired had 4 failed 18650. I looks like the manufacturer dropped the battery pack on the floor and dented them. A third of the packs I see have bad cells. I replace just the bad cells unless the customer wants a full refresh. I've tried about ten different BMS balance boards. The first few were under rated and would trip. After disconnecting they reset.

[@stephenmcnulty7096]

The people I work for ordered some 18650 with high (7.5a) discharge rate. They got a good price ($3.01 new) and had me gut a couple of batteries and install the newer cells. I got to keep the older insides. The plan is to take these 36v 10ah packs and use them on my wifes 500w three wheeler.

[@stephenmcnulty7096]

The hardest part about the ebike packs/batteries is finding the right BMS/balance board. I've tried 7 different BMS with mixed results. Most of the ones I tried do not handle the current and need to be reset. I just ordered a 36v 40a BMS/balance. I started with a 36v 15a. ttyl

[@acmotor2329]

Great video, thanks. Going to spray carb cleaner in my snow blower that I've been trying to start for the past week. Quick question - when you got the first (smaller) snow blower running, was causes the white smoke after you started it up. I've seen that before on my lawn mower and was curious what it's from.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah give it a go and see if it starts and runs! The smoke on startup was from all the leftover crud from the last year, brake cleaner and oil lol.

[@truenorthmuskoka9077]

Ok so I took my carb bowl off to clean out the carb and found the float is made of cork and not even a smooth cork. It has little chunks missing. Is this would Toro put in their carbs. Seems a bad choice to me since it could shed cork particles.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Wow! Did you buy it new or from another person. They might have done that a super long time ago but wouldnt think they would in the last 20yrs. If you got from another person they may have done that for a cheap repair.

Do I need to drain the gas first before I spray the one you spray in the carburetor and can I put it back the gas that I drained. Also, the one that you spray in the carburetor is it safe also to use it in Toro snow blower 621.

[@AveRage_Joe]

If the gas stinks(doesnt smell like gas) I wouldnt reuse and yes drain it. If the gas smells ok then pinch off the gas line from the carb to save it. Yeah you can use the spray on all carbs.

[@OWNERBUSINESS]

@@AveRage_Joe For clarification, are you saying that the good gas doesn’t necessarily have to be drained in order to clean the carburetor and just pinch the fuel line so the gas doesn’t drain out? I just filled with new gas only to find that it wouldn’t start. This is my first time doing a fix like this. Currently in the middle of a snow storm in the Northeast. Hoping to get the blower up and running tomorrow morning. I appreciate you posting a video like this and thank you in advance for your help!

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah if you just put gas in and dont want to loose it, pinch the line with something and then if you can drain the good gas back into your gas can just in case you have to tilt the blower over. If you dont need to tilt the blower over then the pinch should be fine. Good luck, we just got a foot of snow the other day!🤘

I have the same one and I have to replace the primer button and hope it start, my question for you ? Is it gas only are mixed with 2stroke? it was giving to me by a friend and im not sure.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Its usually the ethonal in the gas that eats rubber or drys it out when it sits. Just run it empty at the end of the season and that will help a ton!

[@leadnsteel1428]

Yes I think brake cleaner works better than the carb cleaner.. it also worked on an outboard motor I had sitting.. the stuff smells bad but it works... also only use ethanol free gas

[@medialife81]

Maybe a dumb question, but if I remove the carb bowl will all the gas drain from the tank? Or can I remove and spray with a full tank?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yes it would drain the tank however if you clamp the fuel line(pinch it with something flat so you dont ruin it) you can then proceed. Another option is to pull the line and drain it back into the gas can.

[@BigBear--]

Most often from old gas it’ll be the main jet that’s clogged. You can stick a flat head screwdriver into that center hole and screw the jet out, it’ll make it easier to spray down and clean. Sometimes if it’s really bad, you can poke something through the hole to help move the gunk, or even drill the center hole out with a small drill. Make sure to clean the float bowl out before putting it back on, and you should be good to go.

[@BigBear--]

He didn’t mention one of the main conditions that occurs from a clogged main jet - Engine Surging. So your motor will start, but once you switch the choke to RUN position the engine will continuously surge the throttle/RPM up and down. If you switch the choke to open again and it smooths the RPM out, you got a clogged main jet. Follow the same cleaning steps as above.

[@AveRage_Joe]

That is correct I didnt mention any of that. This was just a quick fix!🤘

[@BigBear--]

It’s normal for it to surge with the choke open. Does it continue to surge if you set the choke to the normal RUN position? Or it only surges with choke open?

[@BigBear--]

If it’s not surging in RUN position, then it’s operating normally. The Throttle is part of the Carburetor, you can take the carb off and clean it, but generally that’s not what’s causing the surging if there is any. Get back to me when the winter season starts if it surges in RUN. If it continues to surge in RUN position, there is another fix.

[@timmypstyle]

@AveRage_Joe the bolt doesn't have a hole, but i did spray up into the center hole and it came out of the tiny hole on the side. So are there 2 jets? The floater has a little pole that goes up into a hole. That hole leads to the fuel tank. As i was spraying brake cleaner, I saw the gas in the tank bubbling(forgot to empty it first). The middle hole, i couldn't tell if it was going all the way up. I'll see if i can run a wire up it.

These blowers are very light weight, I can easily pick it up and throw it in the back of my Jeep

Either your fuel mix is dead on or you're running straight gas in that 2 stroke....

[@AveRage_Joe]

The 2 stroke is the father-in-laws and he left the gas oil mix in over warmer months a few to many times to clog it up. Once I got it the clog removed I used my gas/oil mix with a little seafoam and runs GREAT!

[@phizicks]

you need to buy a cheap one and convert it to electric. Ugh, all those fumes/smoke.

[@AveRage_Joe]

If I can find a cheap one Ill attempt it! That lil one was Laurens Dads!

Fyi, stop using gasoline and you will never have this problem. Go get yourself some Trufuel. Don’t use pump gas on small engines, the Ehtanol will destroy it.

[@WLM41]

Thank you so much! It worked.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Awesome! Glad to hear it!🤘
