Wow excellent timing, I pulled out my blower (same model) today and it would not fire up. I used some dental picks and carb cleaner to clean it out. Popped the carb back in, primed it a couple times and it fired right up. We have a decent sized storm coming in the next couple days so I really appreciate it.

Very detailed instructions. I I cleaned the spark plug but I still could not start the engine. Then, I was able to do everything you suggested and found that the carburetor is working fine. After that, I bought a new spark plug and replaced the old one. Everything works fine now. It was a good experience and I learned a lot! Thank you very much.

What made his video so good? He's showing you all the details and tricks of his trade. Basically explains everything very well and why. Absolutely excellent job! I chose to simply buy a new Carburetor and install it. Then take the old carburetor to my bench and take my time cleaning it. Now I always empty out the entire gasoline and carburetor at the end of every season. I then install a clean fitting rag In the throat of the gas tank. and keep the gas cap off. Why? Because I don't want condensation going into the clean, dry And empty gas tank. When snow blowing season returns I always use sta-bil in my gas. And I have a back up clean carburetor ready to go. I will never take chances again with gas that can screw up my carburetor.

Follow up to my saga. First, thank you for this excellent how-to video. It was super helpful. My advice for anyone trying to do this as fast and efficient as possible is to just buy a new carb. The carb kit is $25 and comes with gasket, accessories, and even a new spark plug. For my Model "DB7651-24" I ran into some gotchas. First, my handles were in the way of the housing so I had to remove the handles (2 large screws at base on each side next to tires, you can probably get by just removing the bottom one each side and loosening the top one which will allow the handle assembly to move backward). After cleaning the carb, I found that my o-rings on the idle jet were bad and would not seat properly @24:50 so I ended up ordering a new carb. This may have been my fault for letting the idle jet and o-rings sit in carb cleaner. I believe the carb cleaner disintegrated the rubber o-rings. Another gotcha, during reassembly one of the screw rods @27:20 was too short. I finally figured out that one of the plastic holes was slightly "out of round" and the spacer wasn't sliding through it like it should. Applying a little vasoline with a Q-Tip fixed that. So after many hours of work (yeah I know, I'm an amateur, lol), it's finally running! for reference, this carb worked for me, but make sure to verify it matches your blower before purchasing. There are 2 different models so look closely at choke lever and gas line attachment. www.ebay.com/itm/225192408478 or just search for "127-9111 Carburetor". Hope this helps others possibly facing similar issues. Cheers and happy blowing! why does that sound so dirty... :)

Hoping you see this comment, I could really use a suggestion. I bought the same snowblower a year ago. Brought it home test Ran her, fired right up, zero issues. Six months later, it snows. I pull it out to use it, it would not start. Found the ignition coil was bad. Replace that still won’t start. Just took off the carburetor and took it apart, it’s completely clean. It tries to start, it just will not start. Could it simply come down to the gas was the issue for the fail to start? This thing is brand new.

@IndRepair Жыл бұрын

It could come down to just this, yes. I would go through the full diagnosis process to figure out what is going on. If it starts on starting fluid or carb cleaner you have you answer

@Flamadiddle2 8 ай бұрын

as expected, I ran into trouble. For some reason, my pilot jet does not go all the way back in. The cavity is clean and clear. Tried forcing it but it sticks out just a bit. Forcing it also destroyed the o-rings so now I'm probably looking at a new carb? Cannot imagine how I'd find new o-rings for that part.

@IndRepair 8 ай бұрын

They do sell the pilot jet as an assembly through MTD I believe but the bad news is the price for it is just as much as an aftermarket carburetor

@Flamadiddle2 8 ай бұрын

@@IndRepair Bought a new carb and it's running now, but seems to be idling faster than normal. You mentioned the idle screw doesn't need adjustment, just set about halfway which I did. Is there truly only one speed for these engines? I do have a high concentration of leftover seafoam in the tank so maybe it's causing it to run hot? Thanks!

@IndRepair 6 ай бұрын

Normally something like this is going to be the cause of an air leak between the carburetor and the intake. If the idle screw is too far so it will not idle down (for models that have a throttle lever) You can just unscrew the plastic stopper a little bit.

@IndRepair 2 жыл бұрын

We use a 133-1534 replacement carburetor on these. Be careful when you order, as they make two different styles. The fuel inlet that comes out to the back at an angle is the one you want. If you get the one with a straight fuel inlet, it is slightly larger diameter and will require lengthening the fuel line normally. If you go this aftermarket route, check the float bowl for debris before installing.

@IndRepair 9 ай бұрын

Normally no, anything is possibly depending on what kind of varnish/debris is in the carburetor. Giving it a shot will not hurt but you will probably just have to do the full repair in the end. Thanks for watching!

for the record, in case anyone else is thinking the same, this did not work. The main jet was so gummed up that there was no way for the seafoam to get in there.

This is the exact reason there's a gas shut off valve on this snowblower. If people would read the operating instructions that are posted on the machine itself, nobody would have this problem, and you wouldn't have a job!😊 When done using, turn the gas off, run snowblower until it quits running." Doing so, runs all the gas out of the carburetor. If you follow this procedure everytime you use it, you will never have a gummed up carburetor, a snowblower that won't start when you most need it!

@IndRepair 7 ай бұрын

The only problem with letting the fuel run out is there is still about 2 ounces that sits in the carburetor, evaporates and leaves a nice deposit of varnish/gum for your new fuel to break up and clog the jets with after you add fuel. There is a drain on the bottom of the carburetor that will work much better but if leaving any fuel in the machines we recommend ethanol free fuel and leave all the way to the fill line so moisture does not gather.
