You could not have made that any easier. Extremely instructional video. Thank you very much for this!

Dave very good narration of the process as you work on the machine! Video is good and audio. You are learning as we all are. 🇺🇸👍Roger

Qick easy fix , no parts required . Good Job

Nice work Dave, always a good feeling when it starts after a little work!

Wish I saw this video before I bought a new carburetor.I have the same exact machine.Gas was coming out the carburetor I changed all the gaskets but still leaked.I might of just needed a good carburetor cleaning.Thank you for this video.

Great vid Dave. Really appreciate your approach for the average person.

Excellent video! My MasterCraft snowplow is working again, thanks to you!

Nice work Dave! Good clear video👍

Hey Dave, if I was in your shoes, I would disassemble the whole carb completely upon cleaning (removing the spring, needle, rubber seat). I have sometimes found that any strong chemical cleaner can soften that rubber Tecumseh seat and cause the carb to not function properly. Just a recommendation. Don has a video on how to re-install the spring back on those tecumseh floats 👍. Really easy Remember that before you buy ANY machine, it's good to see it at least start when spraying the intake or adding gas to the cylinder. Also wouldn't hurt to carry a spark plug checker with you just in case. That can all be done before handing over the money 👍. Usually I see a carb access port on that particular model of snowblower but seems like it doesn't have one. Did you try to carefully remove the carb studs with a torx bit ratchet before removing the cover? Sometimes that works.

Great job on the repair Dave. It seemed to be running well after you cleaned the carb!

Thanks, Dave. Informative video.

Excellent video and very helpful! Thank you...

Those are some mint wheels 👌 great video

That sparkplug looked really terrible, at first I thought the engine had no spark. And while the carb didn't really look dirty, as you found out, that leaves you in a false sense of security. Often times its the varnish you don't see, like in the main jet or emulsion tube. Good job cleaning it out, she fired up and ran real smooth after. I think the owner should be pleased. Good video!

I run non ethanol in all my small engines. Always run the fuel completely dry when storing it for summer. Great video!

Good video Dave

Thanks for the info. I have a toro gas single stage and a toro 60Volt. This spring, I will be tuning up the gas one then sell it and buy another Toro 60volt. I’m getting tired of babying that carburetor! Most say u will spend more on batteries but battery tech is exponentially improving. Mine has gone thru 2 seasons and no problems whatsoever. Either waste time and energy (which is very important for an old arthritis laden man like me) or spend some dough for the “plug n play” ease of use of cordless. Which has now rivaled the power of gas believe it or not! (Talking about Toro 2 battery self propelled single stage)

WELL DONE

Good video mate.. stay safe

Those little 2 stroke MTD snow throwers are awesome machines! I always same them when I can, and you get good money for them because they work well. The major flaw is that stupid baffle on the intake of the carb that directs the intake upward. Why they put it like that I cannot understand. I ALWAY put the baffle on pointing down. Most people leave the machine outside for at least some period of time and water/snow inevitably makes it's way in there and causes problems. You will not kick up any snow that will make it in to the intake of the carb with the baffle pointing down.

LOL!! At 1:50 bits of acorn come flying out!! Great vid!!

Thanks for the video. Can you do another video explaining the difference between a one/two stage or single/dual stage snow blower? Thanks.

Nice Work Dave. No Part$ Required. ^5

Great informative video. I have the same machine only a 3.5 HP. If I ever have a problem I know where to look. Thanks.

What are you using to spray into the jet? Is that starting fluid?

good job, extra cash!!!

i have the exact opposite problem it starts but doesn't shut off

That carb was not that bad other than some small bits of crud inside. I recently cleaned a toro about like that but the carb looked like burnt coffee inside, running great now.

Dave tell your buddy if he likes the older equipment such as the old Sears stuff, then he should look into The Gravely Brand Equipment like their, Walk byehind Machines, Riding Mowers/Garden Tractors and Attachments.. It's all gear driven and operated machinery... I'm a fan of John deere but Gravely was probably the best built Lawn and Garden Equipment as far as being powerful and long lasting equipment

Whenever you clean the carburetor with carburetor cleaner or brake clean take the rubber seat out of it or it’s gonna swell up

looked like there was water on the spark plug

are you trying to take Donny boy job?
