Today I am repairing more of Paul's equipment. This time it's a two-stroke Toro snow blower that won't start - despite its own guarantee!
I love his smile when it finally started. I was smiling too. Will try this tomorrow with mine.
Thanks! It just makes me so happy when they start! Good luck repairing yours.
I had at one time a Cub Cadet snow thrower. It came with electric start, never needed it because the machine always started on first pull, no matter how long it sat. As a secondary machine they are invaluable and throw the snow a long distance. I traded it in when I went to front mounted tractor machine. Still miss it.
It's almost ALWAYS a carb issue with the small 2-Stroke Tecumseh snowblower engines. 2nd common problem is usually a broken or leaking "reed" decompression valve.
If everything is hunky dory with these things, they always fire up on the first or second pull.
Thank you very much. My neighbor put his snowblower on the curb to get rid of and I picked it up. It's a Toro Powerlite Snowblower 98 CC, 2 Stroke. When I prime the fuel bulb and choke it, it will run for a second then die. So, I hope what you demonstrated will help me. I appreciate it.
That sounds likely to be a carburetor issue. Cleaning out the jet and all the orifices should get it running well again.
@@PaintedSpringsGarage Surely that will cure it
I have this snowblower, but is has the very rare alternative engine in it. Most of these snowblowers use the Briggs and Stratton R-tek series engine in them, but mine has the rare Suzuki CCR 2000 engine. They only made this engine for two years before Suzuki ended their partnership with Toro, that is why I find mine as very special.
Nice work! I am working my mother-in-law's CCR 2000 that won't start and have done the same things except the jet cleaning.....Thanks...Hope it works,
Great video. I learned a lot! I'm working on my Craftsman Single Stage blower trying to get to start. This video extremely helpful.
I'm glad that you found the video helpful. Good luck with your snow blower!
good video I was having the same problem with my snowblower like that
Thanks! I hope your snowblower is running well now!
I haven't watched the video all the way through yet but I hope this helps! I just tore off the old fuel line, and primer line and put new ones on. Still not starting sadly. Hopefully your video helps!
I hope you got your snowblower running! This video will take you through almost everything in the fuel system that could cause the engine to not start/run.
what happened to it ?
@@24inchdubz went to the corner with a free sign on it. I spent way too much time and money on it. I gave up. Lol.
Thanks guys
I've got the same model that I picked up at the local ReStore for $25. It has been useful for several years, but when I went to start it this winter I didn't have any spark. That's the inspiration for searching what is the problemo??? I have the wet plug, i.e. fuel is getting there.
Last time I had this happen, the contact within the boot of spark plug was widened over years. Made it narrow with pliers. No spark due to contact problems. Left open overnite for flooding to dry up with sparkplug removed. Put plug next day.Started in two pulls. Try this with a new spark plug. Good luck to you.
Check your coil, or shutdown key switch. If you unplug the single wire connector from the back of the key switch, and make sure it doesn't touch a metal ground, it will disable the kill switch and remove that as a source of trouble.
good video
Glad you enjoyed
Great video I am having the exact same symptoms with my CCR2000 E . It seems it has too much fuel and is flooded but yet has good spark. I tried drying the plug and hole out still no start so next I will purchase new plug the maybe clean carb. or replace it will update if I get it started.
Best luck to you!
Agree. I had same happen on mine. Removed sparkplug and pulled the cord couple of times. Came back next day, put plug back and it started in two pulls.
I blew a few engine with straight gas no mix 😂 it wont start sometimes if thats the case. I now use truefuel 50:1 from home depot no need to mix and it will last in blower for 2 years and in can for 5 years according to them, I also add about a half can of sea foam work wonder thank me later I learn the hard way lol
the two stroke flood very fast you put a dry spark plug in it witch was good but then you primed it that just was to much gas the best to dois take a air blower and blow to piston dry and a dry plug then try with a smal amount of primeing
I just pull the plug out, and let it dry for a minute or so, while I pull the motor over for a little bit to blow the excess fuel out of it. Screw the plug back in, and it'll go.
Nice find. Nice, useful little machine.
I have a two stroke blower similar to that one. It runs initially but won’t keep running. It worked a bit longer a month ago but now doesn’t last long. I tried to clean out the carburetor but that didn’t do it. Similar issue, only works with choke but still dies with that but if I open and close the choke continuously then it keeps running so idk if it’s not getting fuel consistently? Idk not an engine guy. Still watching this vid currently so maybe that will give me the answer
It sounds like you have a fueling issue. Test fuel flow to the carburetor by pulling the fuel line off and letting it flow into a gas can. It should flow pretty quickly. It it's flowing well then it's very likely a restriction inside the carburetor, a bad carb gasket or possibly engine compression. Be sure to check the carburetor to engine gasket as well. If you have an air leak there you may not be pulling enough air (and fuel with the air) through the carburetor.
I have a toro s 200 put a new carb on still no start. Good spark new plug. Any ideas?
I bought a bigger Toro snow blower ladt october. When the snow mounted up on the driveway i started the snow blower. It was fun. I got done in 15 minutes, where with the smaller one it took all afternoon. I only had to use it 3 times last year. Now.. this year it wont start. Seems like its not getting gas or something. Wonder what could be wrong?
Most likely there carburetor needs cleaned. This video should help you find the problem. Good luck!
I Have a craftsman four-cylinder and I can’t get it to start up I put a new spark plug them in and I still can’t get a start up I have one of those plastic keys were just have to be insert to work you don’t turn I wonder what might be the problem the problem
The key only affects the ignition system. This video demonstrates how to check for spark and fuel flow and how to clean the carburetor, which often is the source of the problem. Good luck!
I have a toro 3.0 hp powerlite ccr that was running with out the carb screw in then I put the spring in place will not run any tips on what to do next
Do you mean it was running without an adjustment screw? If you installed the screw then perhaps it is restricting the fuel supply now. Try backing it off and see if that helps. You may need to back it way out to start then adjust while it's running.
You just realized its a 2 stroke?
And you put straight unmixed fuel in the tank ?
That's what happened.. Yet in the end I manage to repair it and now it runs quite well 🤣
Can a gas line be too big, too small, or to long?
The short answer is that you want unrestricted fuel flow to the carburetor. If the line is too small diameter it can restrict flow. The shorter the length the better.
How to set RPM on toro CCR2000
I’m about to take apart the carb on my craftsman Tecumseh 2 stroke snowblower. It started a couple times but now I can’t get it to do anything.
One thing that I couldn’t get under control was the governor. It just kept going way too high on the rpm’s. Idle was very high too. Any ideas or tips?
If it's revving too high without surging the most likely thing is that the throttle is sticking open or a cable or linkage is connected incorrectly or misadjusted.
@@PaintedSpringsGarage I’ll check that out. Thanks
@@PaintedSpringsGarage I replaced the carb about two years ago and it looks like I misplaced the linkage spring so there’s nothing to balance the throttle 🙄. I only used this snowblower once since then and didn’t take the time to get into why it was reving up so high. Thanks again for the reply.
@@PaintedSpringsGarage well I was able to find a set of a bunch of different spring sizes at harbor freight. None are exact fits unfortunately. Ended up bending one to size and now it looks like it’s running better. Just a quick fix to deal with the upcoming snow in the forecast. I’ll end up going on eBay or Amazon to get the exact fit but for now this will do. Thanks again.
@@Sirach985 that's my style! Glad to hear it's ready for the snow now!
Where can i buy the spark plug tester???
Many auto parts stores carry spark testers. They're available from online retailers as well.
Ok thanks
Harbor Freight
Go to your local auto parts store and get one
