Thank you. My husband passed away a few months ago. I feel like a boss because I just got my snowblower running. ❤
Hi Emily, my condolences about your loss but It makes me very happy to hear that you were able to get your machine up and running with my video. Its always a great feeling when you tackle a project and it all turns out good!!
God bless your husband 🙏 ❤️ and family
Bless your family!
YOU ARE A BOSS!
So sorry for your loss
My deepest condolences to you. The hubby passed away in August and I’m trying to figure out why ours isn’t working anymore also.
What you lack in hands, you make up for in brains. You just saved my ass right before a massive blizzard. thank you so much and I wish you a healthy and prosperous life

Great video. Actually went through this process and got my snowblower to run without taking the carb off. I recognized your name. You worked on my Mom’s JD lawn tractor and did a great job for many years. When she turned 96 she finally let us get her a lawn service. Best wishes and keep up the videos!!! 😊

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Mom turned 100 on December 2.
This is the most clear and concise video that I have found, and I have watched a TON of videos on how to troubleshoot my snowblower not starting. My next-door-neighbor gave me his snowblower before he moved. It started up, ran for a couple of minutes, made a "pop", then died. I will be using your troubleshooting tips to diagnose it and (hopefully) get it running again. Kudos on some great tips!
this was the best troubleshoot video for snowblower that I watched. Definitely a great teacher.

Thank you for this. I have the same snow blower with the exact same issue and it's now fixed thanks to your clear instructions. I can build a house but I'm no good with engines - I just don't have that inner-mechanic in me anywhere, but I CAN follow instructions when they're clear like this. Great job and thanks again! Ethanol-free gas for me from now on.
Hi Jon, I'm just the opposite of you, I'm pretty good at figuring mechanical issues out but when it comes to building and the "hammer & nail" thing. That is when I really need both hands! LOL.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I waited until we were forecasted 8 inches of snow to check on my snowblower (idiot, I know lol). I hadn’t used for two years after mild winters. I watched your video, tried all the tips, and got it started….other videos were not helpful. You clearly explain everything and have tons of useful insight and knowledge during each step. Subscribed and liked. Thank you for saving my wallet and back!!!!!
I’m glad you’re back up and running!! Thank you for the kind comment and supporting my channel. It is greatly appreciated.
You g man I can’t thank you enough. I troubleshooted the gas supply, tapped on the bowl and heated up the fuel lines. Started right up!!!
Your a Gods Send!

WOW !!! my husband was just shy of bringing our exact blower into the shop because of the exact same issue. He watched your video and went out in the garage and undid the bowl bolt and drained some gas for about 30 seconds. The bolt went back in, he primed it, used the electric start and the second try it kicked right over. He let it run for about 5 min, and turned it off. He then tried with the pull start and on the first pull it kicked right over. Thank you, I am sure it saved us at least $100.
Hi Carmela, I’m glad this worked! Thank you for the positive feedback. Yes you saved more than $100 :). Please give this video a like, subscribe and tell your friends to help my channel grow. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this video! You saved me a trip to the mechanic. Turns out there was old gas in the carb and loosening the side drain plug did the trick. Great video, well explained and easy to follow for a home DIY'er.

Great video! Did the trick about tapping the carburetor and it worked like a charm. Got gas moving through and started right up! Thanks a ton!!
Nice! Glad to hear. Thanks for sharing and the kind comment.
Yanked on the cord about 50xs without it my Troy Bilt starting... Watched your vid ... Thank You! Drained the yellow fuel and it started on the 3rd pull.

I would like to know
Brad, thanks so much for a very detailed procedure! Draining the carburetor bowl helped for me, fired up after.
Hi John, I’m glad it was helpful and your back up and running!
Thank you for these video’s people like you who create this type of content are truly unsung hero’s of you tube. I mean that with all my heat and I am definitely permanent subscriber now! Thanks again!
Thank you for the very kind comment and supporting the channel :) It is greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU! I had the same problem with the same machine and I just got it started after draining the carburetor bowl and tapping on the bottom. I did both so not sure which was the root cause but it started. Your video was straight forward and very clear. Watched a few other ones and they kinda went round about and not very good trouble shooting steps. Already hand shoveled unfortunately. Not bad 6 inch in SE PA today. Will follow your link to get the spark tester. And will subscribe too.
Thank you for watching and commenting! You should be able to get your machine going with the videos in the description! Thank you for supporting my channel. It is greatly appreciated:)
Yesssss thank you! I had changed the spark plug already and I thought for sure that was it but it still wouldnt start. I ended up only having to drain the gas from the carburetor bowl (it was very yellow). After that it started right up! Your video saved me! I'm quiet and never hoot n holler, but I let out a big WooHoo!!

Hey Brad great video I'm new to your channel I have a 26 year old MTD 5hp tecumseh snowblower. I use to have this problem periodically and once I switched to non ethanol gas I haven't had a problem since. The ethanol is what gums up the carbs on these small engines. I still drain all my gas out of my snowblower at the end of the season and drop the bowl to clean it, since using the non ethanol gas the bowl is always clean. I spray the inside of the carb with WD40 and put the bowl back on and haven't had any carb problems for years now. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us I feel it truly makes myself and others more confident in taking on the problem at hand.
Hi Ken, Thank you commenting and supporting my channel.
Exactly. DO NOT USE ethanol gasoline in small engines! If you must, run the gas out of it and drain the bowl when done using it for the season. Ethanol gas will gum up carbs after several months if not before.
Thanks for the video on Troy bilt snowblower. You're video was thorough.
Hi Jose, I'm glad it was helpful and thank you for the kind comment.

I hope it all works out and your not standing in snow at the moment!!!
Dude this helped me out I really appreciate it. I have the exact same blower and changed the gas, oil and spark plug but couldn’t get it going. Emptied the bowl and it ran. Awesome video. Thanks for doing it. If you were here in Connecticut I would buy you a beer
Hi Tom, I’m glad to hear this video has you up and running!! Thank you for the kind comment!
Definitely drain out old fuel as stated in this video. Worked for me just now on an older snow blower that had sat for about 6 months since last running. Yellow gas came out, about 1/4 cup or less then the snow blower started. Ran rough for a bit then I cleaned up my back yard. thanks!
I’m glad you’re back up and running!
Had to drop the float bowl and pull the main jet on my 26 year old Honda snow thrower to clean it out this year to get it running. Totally plugged. Been running a little rough for a couple years, had to keep the choke on a little too keep it running.
Great video! Thank you sir!

I use sta-bil 360 in all of my machines, boats, atv's chain saws, mowers, etc. Never have a fuel issue.
Thank you, Brad! Learning from your video, I drained the carburetor. And the snow blower could be started. The drained gas appeared two layers. The upper layer was clear while the bottom layer was opaque and light yellow. My snow blower is three years old. I couldn't start it this winter. The oil is about 10 mm higher than the top, but it was added by the manufactory. I exchanged a new spark plug. The same problem. I left it in the living room to warm it, but the next day the issue was still there. I called the authorized repair shop; he told me the carburetor need to be rebuilt for $150. The Home Depot called they need 4-6 weeks to repair it and $30 for inspection first. I had to try myself. I carefully watched your video, judged my issue and reasoned it step by step. I thought maybe there is some gas in the oil. But I decided to flush the carburetor first because it's easy. Then it worked. I was very happy. The oil is very clean, clear. So, I decided not to replace it. Last spring, before off-season storage, I only sucked fuel from the tank with a tube pump. I rushed to use home machines without reading the manual and had no idea about letting the engine using up the fuel before storage. I read the manual carefully and ran my mower and leaf blower till the gas was used up. This would be a correct storing operation. Thank you again. I like your video, so clear, so logical, effective and concise! 👍👍👍

Thanks Jim!
Thank you for this great video. Your explanations are crystal clear, and it happens that this is my snowblower with the same no-start issue. The trick which worked @5:18 was pulling the side plug from the float pan to let the gas run into the carburetor. It helped to tip the snowblower onto its opposite side in order to get the plug back in, but your helpful idea got it started.

Good to hear!
What worked for me: it was not priming fuel, I read somebody put their blower all the way on its front end, then it primed and started! It worked for me!
Thanks. Draining the bowl worked for me. old gas I guess 👍

Thank you so much for making this excellent video! I bought a new snowblower last year, maybe used it 12 hours or so and forgot to empty out the fuel line. Tried starting it up this year, and ran into the same issues with old fuel in the carburetor.

your welcome. got big storm coming to Missouri tomorrow night we think. only used this one time last year worked fantastic. this year we got it out to get it warmed up and nothing . elec start cranks no fire. pull starting no spark. we did leave gas in from last year. in garage all year, oil clear checked fine. going to drain some like in video and tap on it to loosen. hopefully it will start up. luv the video straight to all points perfectly explained. thanks again
Thank you ray. I hope you get it up and running! I should have links belowe ion the description if you need to remove, rebuild if needed and install. Thank you for supporting my channel. It is greatly appreciated!
That snowblower is just like mine! Thank you this really helps. Do you have video on the blower crank it just doesn’t match up with teeth of the blower pipe how do fix that so when turn it will turn without you doing manually?
I’m not sure exactly what you’re talking about but if I think you’re talking about the electric starter? It may be loose? I have not seen a electric starter teeth not line up with the flywheel teeth when engaged other than the starter being loose. Check your mounting hardware. If it’s tight you may have broken teeth, on either the flywheel or the starter. I do not have any videos on that subject at the moment.
Sure enough, tapping the bulb got fuel flowing again. Thank you!
Glad to hear. Thanks for sharing!
Tank's
Your very welcome! I'm glad it was helpful and thank you for the kind comment.
I would add check price on genuine new carb you might be surprised and may actual be the way to go.
I believe most of these blowers have a tiny slim fuel filter in the fuel tank. If that is clogging it won't run correctly. Some suggest removing it and using an inline fuel filter instead.
Yes, most due have the filter in the fuel tank and they almost never get clogged. They are raised up in the tank and most debris sits on the bottom of the thank. Ass long as you have a good fuel flow the in the tank filter does not normally give you a issue. The newest engines on the market have a inline fuel filter that does restrict the flow. Check this video out on what i have found on the newest engine. czcams.com/video/6UEv4AM1SPk/video.html
You are the fucking man!! I had the same issue with my troy bilt so I watched your carburetor cleaning video and as soon as I put it back together it started right up! Thank you!
Hi Luis, I’m glad your back up and running. Thank you for the kind comment:)
A lot of times, on Toro-type machines, a full rebuild/cleaning is not necessary. The culprit, in this case is probably the pilot jet being clogged. The carb will still have to be uncovered to access the pilot jet, but not removed. I just fixed my surging Toro by cleaning the pilot jet only.
Good looking out but incorrect engine. Your “Toro” had a Tecumseh engine on it and you can do that easily on a Tecumseh engine. You Cannot easily remove the what you’re saying is the “pilot jet” on the China engines without disassembling shrouds. Most of the time on the China engines the center jet and emulsion tubes clog that is in the center of the carburetor.
Mind would not run when I turned knob from choke to run from the day i first bought it as per your video runs well left on chock position
Dude! Thank you!!! Machine wouldn't start, trying everything. Watched your video, drained the nasty gas out of the carb until it was nice and clear, primed 3 times, started right up! Watched 3 other videos and nobody mentioned draining the carb. Thank you!!!!!

Do you have any videos that deal with frozen cables? I have condensation in my cables and I don't want to have to run a blow dryer over my cables every time I need to move snow
I'm sure your weather is much colder then where I am so I do not have much experience with extreme cold and frozen cables but you could try Fluid Film. This may be a little tricky but "Fluid Film" will stick around a long time and I have used it for years. The problem is that fluid film is a thicker spray but if you can heat up your machine in a warm environment, you may be able to get the fluid film down inside where the cables are and once it is in there is does keep lubricating a very long time. Here is a link. Fluid Film. amzn.to/3Iecopy

Drain the bowl and smack it with a wrench! Started instantly. Thank you, I'd never have figured that out. Seems to be a common issue, based on the comments. What would you recommend for end-of-season storage so this doesn't happen next year?
Hi Kevin, stop using pump gas and start using ASPEN fuel. It's a little pricy but you will not have to worry about the gas going bad. You must take all the regular gas out or run it dry before using the ASPEN to get the benefits. Read up on it. I am not sponsored by ASPEN at all. No ethanol and stays fresh for a very long time. Check into it. Here is a link. www.aspenfuels.us/products/all/. I have been using it for around three years and it is great fuel. My opinion, better than Tru-Fuel.
Would there be a jet running through that bolt holding bowl to bottom of carb? Something that could be cleared perhaps? Do carb work later. I think
I would suggest watching the video on how to rebuild that carburetor in the description below, so you can understand that it’s not that easy, unless you’re very mechanical.
I have exactly the same model and same problem! I only ran once last year, won't start again!
Good video, unfortunately that's where I'm at with mine (end of the video) where I took my whole machine apart, drained the bowl, cleaned out the carb super good with cleaner and wiping/blowing and made sure seals were all good. Use the electric start and it sounds like it wants to start but just won't turn over. I've actually run it 3 times this season already, and then it up and died on me mid-use last week. can't figure it out.
Try a new spark plug? Spark is good? Compression is good? Make sure your fuel is ok? Did you look in the description for the video on “how to rebuild the carburetor”? After all that I would need to see it because it should run if all above is ok.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines I had good spark off the plug when I tested it. The last thing I’ll try tomorrow is making sure the port holes in the carb bowl bolt are clear. 👍🏼
more helpful than briggs and straton video.
Hi Adam, I'm glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching and the kind comment.
Very helpful video - When I pressed the electric start, there is no sound at all. Could there be an electrical issue? or is the electric starter bad? I'll need to run the diagnostics again, but at this point I can not get it to start even a little.
If you know you electric cord is good and the starter does not spin the engine over. Your starter is bad. The electric starter only spins the engine. It does not start the engine.
