I worry about metal scoring the brass so I've used natural or plastic broom bristles and even a bristle from a tooth brush on small holes. Also aren't you supposed to not remove the main jet on some carbs and try to clean it left in place?

Thank you so much! This was exactly the situation that I had with my Craftsman 5/22 snowblower. My father originally bought it back in the mid 90's. I had only ever cleaned the carburetor once (bought a kit as well) when my mother still owned it and I used it for clearing her long, double-wide driveway. After I inherited it, I kept in the shed out back in the summer and in my garage in the winter where it would be handy. I did the routine maintenance and always ran it for a while before moving it between seasons. In 2022, I had run it in the fall when moving it to the garage but then when I needed it after a heavy snowfall, it would not run! I dreaded having to get the kit and clean the carburetor so it has sit in the garage since. This year after several days of snow and shoveling every day, we finally had a snowstorm that dumped eight inches of snow (although it looked like more depending on where you were at). There was no way I was shoveling anymore so I decided to clean the carburetor. I got my tools, moved the snowblower and removed the cover. Then in an act of procrastination, I figured I would look up some videos as a review. The title of this video caught my eye and also the fact that the snowblower pictured looked a little older, more like the one I have. OMG - It was exactly the same situation. In a matter of minutes the snowblower was running! I cleared my driveway and sidewalk, and two of the neighbor's walks. Thank you again!

If a paper clip is too big for the jet holes, try the wire inside a twist tie from bread or stuff at the grocery store. Just peel off the plastic or paper and use the wire to gently clear the jet passages. Make sure you clean out inside of the bowl while you are doing this so that the jet does not instantly reclog itself.

Thank you Steve! Excellent trick! My old snowblower has been in the garage 3 years, but still have not had time to take it to a shop to have it fixed. I was fixed once, but the gunk settled in the carburetor, the bulb. Now, this is exactly what I need to start it again! I will try your trick on it.

i learned something today about snowblowers without air filters and micro drills. Steve if that were my machine there would be 3 black widows coming out of the carb area. I do not miss my tecumeh engine on my Rototiller I had to fiddle with the carb every year. Love the briggs sleved engine. Just put gas stabilizer in pull and go. As always thanks for the teaching session and saving me money.

Hey Steve, my son, and Daughter bought me a used Briggs and Stratton 1150 snowblower 250cc for $300.00. The left tire was flat and the right tire was flat and off the bead. And of course, the engine would not start. So, I fixed the tires and changed the spark plug. But to no avail. I still could not start my snowblower. So, I went on KZfaq and found your video (How To A CHEAT A Snow Blower To Make It RUN). So, I took the carburetor jet out and cleaned it exactly the way you showed how and I put it back together. Now my snowblower is running like a champ. So, I had to write you a comment and say thank you, Steve!

Yep, that'll work! Now just throw some SeaFoam in the tank to finish cleaning it out. Good video, will save a lot of blowers. BTW, a set of "torch tip cleaners" is both cheaper (go to a farm store or harbor freight welding section, used to be about $2-3) and less brittle than those micro drill bits, at least if yours are like mine... I tend to snip off the first bit of useful sizes in the torch tip cleaner set so the serrated part starts right away.

@@Gideon_Judges6 I started mechanical work with my Dad when I was 5 or g years old. One of my first memories was when I picked up his brand new Swingline Tacker stapler and buried a 3/8” staple to the shanks in my left thumb. Over the years I discovered the torque necessary to strip bolts ranging from 4-40 to 1/2”-13, up to grade 5, at least and broken the heads off of many drywall screws, and countersunk wood screws up to #14. Battery powered drill-drivers merely added to the “body count.” I have an excellent set of, and far too much experience with, broken screw extractors. Last week I stripped the threads on my safety razor, granted it was injection molded zinc alloy chrome plated. My replacement will be solid stainless steel, so that should be a little more durable. I have learned that a couple of drops of blue Loc-tite is a better guarantee of a secure fastening than that “last “quarter turn” of the screw. But I still use that line about “torque settings” when teaching newbie mechanics about how tight something should be, sometimes they get the joke.

Great short cut to get her running, I buy snowblower just to fix up for myself and I give some away. Steve that's how I get them cheap the carbs are gunked up do to ethanol gas and laziness to drain the old fuel. You the man always enjoy your informative videos and get to see what beer your drinking lol.

Steve, thanks for another great video! I like your “cut to the chase” technique of using carb cleaner too. Probably safer than starting fluid, although others may disagree. The Tecumseh engines I have found to be generally easy to start, even on the coldest days. The Tecumseh “Snow King” line were great snow blower engines for sure!

I will for sure be trying this. I mounted an old snowblower engine on a wood splitter. It ran about 15 minutes and just died and won't restart.

Great tip👍🏻 done that cheat myself a few times! Also, if you need something tiny for the really small holes, snip a bristle from a wire brush!

I worry about metal scoring the brass so I've used natural or plastic broom bristles and even a bristle from a tooth brush on small holes. Also aren't you supposed to not remove the main jet on some carbs and try to clean it left in place?

Another nice little tool to clean ports, an ox-acetylene tip cleaning kit. Multiple sizes all contained in it's case. Inexpensive, HF or a welding supply house, big box store.
