I’m like the many folks here. Just bought this model. Thanks for this video! Very helpful as I’ll be using this beast quite a bit here in Fairfield County, CT.
Excellent tip about the extension cord! I didn't have the cord that came with it and I tried a 50ft outdoor extension cord. It wouldn't crank it over. Switched to a 10ft and it started right up! Can't thank you enough! 👍🖐️

Great video. super informative on every aspect. liked and subscribed. most people take this knowledge for granted. Just baught out first home and am buying one of these tonight, great review and tutorial :) appreciate it
Every year my husband forgets how to start the snowblower… says it’s junk, needs a new one and at least a few times i come watch the video and start it right up. 🎉
99% of most no start conditions with snow throwers are human related!!! :). I hope your back up and running! Because fuel is a big issue going bad inside the carburetor not allowing the machine to start, (human related) I would try and stay away from gasoline coming out of the gas pump unless you can find non ethanol gas. I would highly suggest using Aspen4 gas you can purchase in quart of gallon containers. Here is a link to read about it and find a location near you. www.aspenfuels.com/products/alla/aspen-4/. If you start using it your starting issues will, for the most part go away and make sure you watch the start up video before the winter storms hit! LOL.

I had a great idea! I live on the snowy north and I figured I'd try to make a few beans by snow blowing. Well Home Depot screwed the pooch and gave me a floor model with parts missing and no manual. Long story short, you've saved my bacon. Thank you very very much. Liked and subbed. Keep up the good work!
Watched this at 5 this morning bc my dad couldn't start ours and called me out of my room to help. (MY mom was attempting to shovel the front while my dad was doing the back) but we just got 10 to 15 inches and my dad said "there's no way were shoveling out of that." Sending this video to my dad so that way next time might be an easier start.
Very well done from a guy that clearly knows his stuff. The only disagreement I have is the need for high-test fuel. I have better luck with regular in small engines but that's just me - and it doesn't change how well-done and informative this video is! Thank you, sir, and keep up your greatness.
Thanks, in the area I live in they put a lot of chemicals in the fuel to help with pollution control and so the fuel is not very good in our area for the single cylinder engines so I always recommend the higher octane fuel. It’s just better gas for small engines. Even better would be none ethanol gas but we do have it in our area unless you drive a distance to get it.
I’m glad this video was helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting. Please give this video a thumbs up to help my channel. It would be greatly appreciated.
Excellent video! Either I never learned that a short cable was viral or I had forgotten. That is an excellent excellent thing to tell people. Thank you.
I didn't know this either. Since Home Depot didn't include it I probably would have just used a regular extension cord. Now I'll just pull start it until I can get a proper one

Liked and subscribed, great video and very informative. Can’t thank you enough, I am new to using snowblowers, 3 days ago was my first time and i was completely lost so your video saved me. My question is, what kind of oil and fuel should i use? And can i get both of them at Home Depot? Thank you!
You can use 10w30 or 5w30 in the engine. You can buy True-Fuel (grey can) or regular pump gas at the gas station. I would recommend the highest octane at the pump. The oil and True-Fuel you can purchase at The Home Depot.
Most definitely, I got the opportunity to use once and very satisfied.Now I’m in Alabama for a month and we got twenty inches of snow Sunday in Worcester.
If you left gas in the machine? Most likely fuel has gone bad in the carburetor not allowing the engine to run. Gas will turn sour(go bad) from sitting. You will most likely need to try and drain the carburetor and fuel tank of old gas and put fresh in. You may need to rebuild or replace the carburetor if flushing does not work. I have videos on how to do it.
Thank you! Great videos - easy to follow narration and camera work. It gave me the confidence to try to fix my snow blower which hadn’t started in two years (despite a few attempts). I can’t get it to run smoothly however. It sounds like, “vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom”. Any thoughts? Here’s what I did to get it started. I sprayed the carb and choke openings with a carb cleaner spray, changed the spark plug and oil, and added some gumout into the tank (old gas with some white deposits at bottom of tank). It started, but ran very rough for the 20+ minutes until it ran dry. A day or two later, I added Mechanic in a Bottle and ethanol free gas, but it still runs rough. What is left to do? Thanks again for your videos!
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner, your comment was held. Your surging is due to the carburetor has a blockage inside. If you feel comfortable doing so, follow the directions in the description of this video on how to remove the carburetor, then rebuild it or replace it. There are videos to help you through the entire process in the description.
Excellent details in that video. I just purchased this machine online from Home Depot and it’s being delivered tomorrow so I’m interested in learning as much as possible about it. As far as Gas is 89 or 93 octane good? And what kind of oil, do you need for this machine, specifically?
I would use 93 octane or a product called TruFuel that you can purchase from The Home Depot. Check the manual for recommended engine oil but I would say either 10W/30 or some of the newer machines are now using 5W/30. Check manual.
I have a similar machine it doesn't start up as easily as yours does but runs well on long island maybe used it 10 times in 5-6 years sometimes I notice as it's running a small kick or hiccup but it evens out I've changed oil n spark plug still does it the machine is from 2018 never sits with gas in it carb should be clean I do run stabile through it when I'm storing it
Knowing that the machine is hardly used, most likely the carburetor will need to be removed and cleaned to get the hiccup out. Sometimes no matter how good we store the machine, the gas will sit somewhere in the carburetor and go bad.
Great instructions!! Thank you, will be purchasing this same blower but it's used, anything I need to know before buying it as far as checking it out?? First time ever owning a snowblower. Thank you!
Yes, make sure the electric starter works if it has one, Make sure when the engine is running that the choke is completely in the off position. If you need to keep the choke on even just a little that means the carburetor needs to be rebuilt. Check to make sure the bottom skid plate and side skid shoes are not worn out. If they are worn thin, that is a sign of hard use. It also should start within a few pulls of the pull rope. That was just a few to quickly check.
You will be the judge on how fast you want to go. I personally just listen to the engine and if I think it is working too hard I slow down. so the engine isn't grunting to hard. If it sounds like it is going to stall the engine your moving to fast for conditions "in my opinion"
Hi Brad, I bought this machine and used it only once, and then left the gas in it over the summer. So now I cannot start it, I emptied out the carb. and tried to take out the spark plug, but need an extension to remove it. i am now going to try and see if I can unstuck the valve. My question is, can I use a gas treatment to help the carburetor, to start it?
Hi Trish, In my opinion, I do not believe in "the bottle of fix it". If it does not start, there is a issue. Watch this video, czcams.com/video/Wj25U4FDV-0/video.html. This may help you.
I have the same model. haven't run it for the whole season no gas left in the tank before storage. put new gas and start it, it cranks for 2-3 sec and then shuts off repeatedly. Any thoughts or advice? it's an essential new machine, on/y used 4-5x in 2 years.
Just because the tank was dry doesn't mean there wasn't fuel left in the carburetor. Most likely the carburetor will need to be cleaned. Watch this video, it may help. czcams.com/video/Wj25U4FDV-0/video.html
Just purchased the Storm 2600 and have a question: Other than the yellow handled oil dip stick on top, there is another yellow handled and what appears to be a screw type located towards the bottom of the motor, what is this one for? Nothing is listed in the booklets I received with the blower. Thanks!
You can start the machine two ways. You can use the pull cord with the handle or use the electric starter. Using the electric starter is just a easier way then pull starting and it spins the engine over faster so starting is a little quicker but both ways work just fine! Thanks for watching!
I suggest straight high octane fuel from your gas pump. No mix. If you can get ethanol free gas? that is good too. Remember to check the engine oil level before running the machine!
I will assume the newer 2420 has a bigger engine. I haven't seen one yet. Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing. It is greatly appreciated :)
It will not run most likely do to the gas went bad in the carburetor, The fuel tank will need to be drained then you will need to remove the carburetor and either rebuild it or replace it depending on how bad the gas is inside the carburetor. Here is the link to take the carburetor off of the machine.czcams.com/video/sK5m9iTxR4U/video.html. i will also send a link after this on how to dissemble the carburetor.
The reason why it will not run is because just what you said, you haven’t run it since last year or at least a year ago and now the fuel in the carburetor is bad. You most likely need a carburetor flush, rebuild or replace, depending on how bad it is inside the carburetor. To avoid issues in the future, either rum your machine totally out of fuel, run the machine periodically during the off months for 15 minutes at a time every other month, and also use non ethanol fuel or TrueFuel that you can purchase at hardware stores.
Nice work 👍🏼. I just purchased a used one with a 179cc engine that’s several years old for $100 and started up with no issues. Took notice the auger wasn’t working so I took the belt cover off and discovered the belt is worn, ripped and broken with a good amount of black gookie caked up residue throughout the pulley, cable spring and the compartment. Replaced the 2 belts, spark plug, fresh oil and gave it a good cleaning. Gonna change the flywheel and add a stator so I can install a light. Found a used stator and flywheel for $50. I noticed you mentioned your in eastern PA. Whereabouts?
Good Luck with the machine but honestly, I hope you will not need it :). Please give this video a like, subscribe and tell your friends about my channel to help it grow. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines thank you!! I appreciate your reply on what I should check for, very good information!
What are the speeds should be using? I have F1-F6. Oviously depends on the snow but say 4" what would I use? What about 8"

It is another oil cap. Just use the dipstick. No need to even open the other yellow cap. Just make sure the yellow cap never comes off or comes loose.

Great vid. I have the same one and never emptied the gas during spring and summer. Now it will not start :(. Do you have a troubleshoot vid on that?
It will not run most likely do to the gas went bad in the carburetor, The fuel tank will need to be drained then you will need to remove the carburetor and either rebuild it or replace it depending on how bad the gas is inside the carburetor. Here is the link to take the carburetor off of the machine.czcams.com/video/sK5m9iTxR4U/video.html. i will also send a link after this on how to dissemble the carburetor.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Thanks so much. I feared you may say this lol Thanks so much for your vids and all of your help.
hi I did everything u did in the video and it still doesn't turn on it was fine last year and now it doesn't turn on
The reason why it will not run is because just what you said, you haven’t run it since last year or at least a year ago and now the fuel in the carburetor is bad. You most likely need a carburetor flush, rebuild or replace, depending on how bad it is inside the carburetor. To avoid issues in the future, either rum your machine totally out of fuel, run the machine periodically during the off months for 15 minutes at a time every other month, and also use non ethanol fuel or TrueFuel that you can purchase at hardware stores.
Do you mix something in gas or just regular gas?
If your model is Troy-bilt storm 2410 then yes it takes regular gas.
Nice work 👍🏼. I just purchased a used one with a 179cc engine that’s several years old for $100 and started up with no issues. Took notice the auger wasn’t working so I took the belt cover off and discovered the belt is worn, ripped and broken with a good amount of black gookie caked up residue throughout the pulley, cable spring and the compartment.
