Here is a Craftsman 24in snow blower that a customer brought in and said that he put gas in it and would not start. So after looking at it the carburetor was clogged up. So lets get it a part and rebuild this Hauyi carburetor. Please watch my playlist of all my other snow blower video's that might help you out also. • Snow Blower Repairs

Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. kzfaq.infoUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.

Hello! We got 10" of snow and my snow blower has only been used one time. It was showing the same symptoms as in the video. I have two 100ft + driveways and was feeling defeated. I don't know anything about engines or even care to learn about them. I watched this video and followed it step by step. After about an hour, I put everything back together, prayed to the snow blower gods and pulled the cord. I was so surprised and happy that it finally started and I was able to knock out cleaning my driveways. I can't thank you enough for this video and the detailed step by step instructions as well as the great camera angles. Keep up the great work and it truly is people like you and videos like this that save people money and time. Thanks again!!!!

I also have a Craftsman blower with the same engine. I recently had the same issue and my first indication of a problem was that the primer bulb didn't seem to be forcing any gas up into the carb. Problem with mine was the line from the carb bowl up to the intake was clogged (pressing the primer bulb forces fuel up this tube into the intake, which it could not do). Took the bowl off, sprayed some carb cleaner up there and after that it worked fine. Note: as i write this I am less than 13 minutes into the video, so I don't yet know the problem. But I am predicting he has the same issue as I did. EDIT: OK, watched further into the video and yup, same issue. Only I fixed mine without removing the carb from the engine. I just removed the bowl and sprayed a mess of carb cleaner up the tube. Yes, I also had a little gunk in the bowl, so I cleaned that, too. But as for the carb, I just put a bunch of rags under the carb and sprayed away.
