I've said it before and I'll say it again-if you can't depend on '65Ford, you can't depend on anybody. This guy's helped me over and over....

these carbs are simpler than those for chainsaws. thanks for the vid

Thanks

Great explanation!

Very nice video. Fixed my snow blower!

Update I did in fact change the fuel filter and still no luck. However I added new mix fueled with 93 octane and 2 cycle oil still did not start so as my son was pulling the cord I sprayed carb cleaner directly in the carb as he cranked and eureka it started chocked it self out would not start then hit it again with the carb cleaner and it fired up 1 hour later with no carb cleaner it fires up so happy I cannot tell you. Thank you for the video as far as cleaning the carb

Excellent video. Thx. Good to go again.

Nicely done 👍 👌

Great video!

well done

Thank you! Just saved me a bunch of money.

People swear that these models arethebest toro made. I'm trying to find one, but at a reasonable price.

If the video helped or you enjoyed it please Thumbs UP or leave me a comment below.

thanks

Great Video! Thanks.. Need to get my CCR22450 running again and ready to sell.. Bought a Toro Two Stage ;)

I wanted to add the snow blower starts every time no problems

Good video. Just be careful cause that carb cleaner can warp or even eat up plastic

Thanks nice video

This is my neighbors mach, it was running fine last year, and this year it started then stopped, and that was it, and me being a nice guy I said I would look at it for him, well I'm stumped

even though i don't have a snow-blower, thanks for uploading such a high quality tutorial. it's people like you who make the internet more productive/informative.

Gotta love free. These are GREAT machines and you will be very happy with it. At 1:23 you will see a little metal tab that the spring hooks to. Bending this towards or away from the carb sets the speed lower or higher. I would make sure that your main throttle butterfly moves freely first as it could be stuck in an open position.

i should clarify, the choke is different from this video. more like a lawn mower choke where it will push either forward or back.the choke lever on the outside of body does not push the choke either way .

Very good. And useful tips that I can see on my toro 2450 . I wish I'd seen you before I bought the new carburetor but I still got helpful information on how to maintain it. Thanks

Thank you so much for posting this! I was trying to prepare for the upcoming snow storm and sure enough my Toro 2450 wouldn't run after starting. I would start it up, it would sputter and then shut down. I followed your video, cleaned out the carb and now it starts after one pull and is running smooth! Thanks for saving me time and money with this DIY project.

Very helpful

Excellent!

I just wanted to thank you. We just got hit with a big snowstorm and my Snow Commander wasn’t running right. I followed your directions and now my snow blower runs like new. I was worried my wife would hurt her back shoveling. Now she can use the snow blower! Just kidding. Thanks much!

I've owned 2 ccr2000e blowers and both of them ended up with a needle and seat valve leaking problem. As far as I could tell, wasn't serviceable. The seat was pressed in brass. Just bit the bullet and bought a new $100 carb.

awesome video; thx

Followed your video step by step and it started 1st pull. I never thought I would ever been able to do this myself but it was easy with your video. Huge thank you! Here in Michigan we are getting 12 to 15 inches of snow today and I thought before I started shoveling I would give this a try. I'm so happy I did. I can't say thank you enough!!!

Oh mine's a Toro 3650

cool tip thank.

People use seafoam but I think it is snake oil like all these products. It will work 5-10% of the time but in the hours you waste playing with it trying to get this stuff to work you could have done a basic carb clean. As you can tell I push towards a simple cleaning as there is no replacement for it in these precision carbs. Your symptoms suggest your main jet it clogged. I have several dozen carb videos on youtube and have people who have no mech ability successfully clean carbs everyday. -Moe

Thank you! This is the best of the carb clean videos on KZfaq.

back to square one doing the same thing cleaned carb replaced govenor spring. it seems to me like the spring is not strong enough to hold throttle where it needs to be and govenor pulls to idle. runs great with good power for about 5 min and thats it. also running fresh mix with a good toro oil. im lost on this one maybe carb needs replaced

This is an excellent discussion/demo on how to clean a carburetor.

Finally got it running!! After several attempts without the engine turning over I took the carburetor off again. I realized I had the bowl in the wrong position! The molded "branch" from the bottom of the bowl had to line up with the off-center hole at the bottom of the carb. That's the best way I can describe it. Once it was put back together, a couple of primes and on it went. Thanks for giving me and others for the confidence to try fixing it ourselves. Great video!!

Waited til this am to try the Toro before the blizzard of 2016 here in PA. Dumb idea. Choke was spitting at me. Called the small engine shop and was told good luck. So I found this video and 3hrs later I got a clean carb, a new primer bulb and spark plug and after some pulling a running Toro. Thanks much...Great video! Let it snow...let it snow....now I hope that generator will start......lol.

Thanks for the video. My Toro model 38600 has the same carb as far as I can tell. My engine was surging at idle and the auger was stalling with even the smallest amount of load. So, I cleaned the carb using your video, inspected the belt drive and also adjusted the auger cable. Works great now.

Outstanding! The big storm is coming tomorrow, and now it's running! Great photography and narrative. Kudos!

Thank you so much for your video. I was able to clean the carb on mine and it started on the first stroke of the piston after being a dog for years. The float bowl was full of rusty water and dirt but somehow cleaned up nicely. Nice job and thank you - I was ready to spend almost $2k on a new two stage when all I needed was a carb clean.

Used my 3650 today. Took 5-6 pulls to start. Perhaps I have to clean out my carb. She ran like a charm after getting her to start though. As always your vids r superior!

You hit my problem right on the head! Bad boy wouldn't run, and now that I know fix; I'll let you know my results. Thanks for good showing.

I just found a 3650 at the recycle center and the carb is plugged. I will clean it out tonight. It will be my backup blower. Thanks for tip video. You always Rt on.

Thanx for your video. I replaced the pull cord on a friend's CCR 3650, and then tried it and wouldn't start. Your video helped me to take the carb out and clean it, I also put in a new spark plug, even though the old one was still good, and it started on the second pull!

lady friend doesn't take care of her snow blower. good instructions for being a hero!!!!

This is exactly what i was looking for. I had to watch it a 2nd time as the needle popped off when i pulled out the pin and float. All cleaned up - started great. Ready for snow - but not wanting it too soon - a few months to go.

Nice job. I try to get all maintenance done before it gets too cold. We all know it never works out that way. Good point about over use with rebuild kits. Take care and stay warm!

Great video. Thanks for the clear concise demonstration on carb cleaning. Took the 'mystery' out of it. Runs like a top now (even in 12" of snow) under load, and sounds 'normal'. Thanks

Great Video! Our Toro CCR 2450 was blowing smoke and surging as I tested it 2 days before Blizzard Jonas was about to hit Phila PA. Drained the fuel, replaced the fuel filter and followed your carb cleaning instructions. (Pulled the sticker and cleaned the port also) Put it all back together, filled the tank with 91 octane and the fuel mix. Primed it a few times and 3 pulls later it was screaming! Once the snow stops I will put it to the test. Thank you so much!

Thank you - your video is great & saved me a bunch of money. I had gotten to the point of buying a new carb. Then I watched your video and gave it a try and it worked. Just cleaned it all out and now my CCR 3650 works like its brand new.

I have the 2450 I bought used a couple years ago. Last year I found out the primer bulb was cracked, couple dollars and it ran fine. This year I've had nothing but trouble. With the help of this video cleaned the carb and it fired up on the 4th pull. Great video thanks for sharing

Thanks for the clear and easy step by step process for cleaning. Also, I really appreciate the explanation of what all the various orifices and passageways function in making the carburetor work as it is suppose to. Keep up the great videos! Thank you.

Hi sixtyfive, You are without a doubt the best, an ace. I have fixed a few machines in my time but I have never ran across this problem before with the sheer pin but you were right , the pin was broken. I put in a new pin and the first pull it started right up. thanks again for your help, as I said before you are an ACE.

Did everything you said except put fresh gas & oil in my snowblower tried to fire it up and same results. NOTHING. Not to mention that the gas was about 3yrs old cause thats how long my snowblower has been sitting in the basement. I went back at it the next day with fresh gas (I used premium) a new bottle of oil and a can of carb cleaner instead of the brake cleaner that I used the day before. Also I replaced the spark plug and cleaned out the gas container. Did everything in the video step by step. Gave it about 5 pumps pulled the cord twice and it fired right up. All in all I was out about $10 bucks for the gas, carb cleaner & a spark plug. Wayyy better than the hundred something dollars that the shop wanted to charge me. All in all excellent video. Thanks a lot sixtyfiveford

Great video. I've had apart and cleaned one or two of these, but did not know about ALL the holes and passages. I'll book mark this video for future use. I too have had a Jewler's eye piece at the bench for many years, they are great in such applications.

You just reinforced what I thought was wrong with my blower. Did exactly as you did and voila it now runs great. Heard a rattling and found muffler screws loose. Tightened them and back to being like new again. Thank you!

Sounds like you have your snowblower running. You're welcome, I'm glad it helped.

Nice video. I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend for my dad's snowblower.

Thanks so much for this video. I have a Toro 2450 and followed your tutorial to the letter. The machine would start and run, but had a horrible surge at idle; now it both runs and idles sweetly. Thanks again.

One of the most informative videos I have seen in a long time. Thank You

I use this video every year. Big snow storm coming tomorrow. Thanks again!

good video. will do next summer. Do you have a video on removing recoil ?? I broke the rope and it appears that whole housing cover must be removed to get at the 4 bolts that hold the recoil .

Took me about 30 minutes and its running like a champ! I'm ready for the 2 day snow that's coming. Thanks!

I have a (newer/similar) model ccr 2450; nonetheless the guidance here walked me through cleaning the carburetor successfully. Was a nice project with my teen son, and satisfying for the both of us to resolve the surging of our snowblower. Thanks! Cheers!

Thanks my Toro 2 cycle would start but not run cleaning the carb with your well done video did the trick. Thanks

Nice and to the point. Getting ready for the start of winter 2019 - 2020

Nicely done! You have helped me so much by publishing this. Thank you

This was incredibly helpful. Had my blower back up and running within an hour. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. I had always been told once you take one of these plastic carbs apart... it would never seal again and suck air and therefore surge. Only fix was a metal carb for 100.00 Oem, or 25.00 a/m? I thought what the heck, let's give it a try. I did re-assemble using a thin layer of gasket sealer on all the gaskets and it RUNS GREAT!

Thanks for your expertise; you made the job look easy.

Thank you for posting this video & the great notes. You're a very good teacher. Prior to this, I knew NOTHING about small engine anything & now my little snow blower runs & it's ready for tomorrow night's storm. Subscribing now to continue my education!

Well, took the carburetor apart just like your video. Outstanding results! The only difficult step in this process is aligning the dashboard with the lower cover, and making sure the metal ring from the choke is attached to the carburetor when you reassemble. A few four letter words, a beer and a smoke...wallllaaa. Thanks sixtyfiveford! Now will you show me how to replace the oil pan gasket on 2002 Jaguar X-type. Merry Christmas.

Thanks man!! I have no mechanical skill and was able to get my toro running.....NICE VIDEO

Thanks for this video! I was able to get my 18 year old Toro running again. Float was stuck and I was able to get it cleaned out and running great. Have a happy 2021!

Great Video. Much Appreciated. Kind of wished I could have seen the Choke and Spring get reconnected, but I am sure that it should go smooth. Thank you

Hey man thanks! Followed the instructions and it worked like a charm. Fired up in seconds. I did drain the old gas out of the tank and replace it with new. Thank you sir. Instructions easy to follow and clear camera angles. Cheers!

I enjoyed your video and found it very helpful. I just finished cleaning the carb on a CCR3650 Toro snow blower. Before cleaning it, my unit started acting up with the engine racing once it was warmed up. It was if the throttle was wide open. After cleaning, it came down slightly but the rpm's are way up there. I thought that maybe something was wrong with the governor spring but wanted to check with you first. Keep up the good work sixtyfiveford.

The ultrasonic cleaner did a very good job ( a few 2 minute cycles, simple grean water and a squirt of dawn..then one cycle for rinse just water, then air) on the newer Rtek carb that is metal, from my Toro 3650, but I will use your technique on this type it looks like it has more small passages. Thanks again.

Thank you your video was very helpful , I was able to clean my carb started right up

Thank You so MUCH sixtyfiveford!!! Thanks to you I think I can get my snow blower working again :) You ROCK!

I have to be crazy!enjoying carb cleaning videos on new years morning.happy new years to you and your family.keep the videos coming

Hey Thanks. I watched your bike build the other day. That's pretty cool.

Thanks you made that carb rebuild real simple just think I've been paying those small way too much for an half hour work and they been keeping my snowblower two to three weeks at a time well that will end tomrrow when rebuild own in twenty minutes.

Nice Job on the video its very straight forward and clear. Thanks for posting!

Great video. I'm going to clean the carb tomorrow. Thanks.

Thank you for doing this video, I just pick up a Toro 2450 with this carb today, will be cleaning the carb and checking the governor first and draining/cleaning the tank, hopefully get it running. Right now it will start, then dies after 10-15 sec when you adjust chocke after a couple hi-lo surge. I am planning on using the ultrasonic for the parts, but will now be spraying through them too. You video will help during disassmbly and reassembly ! Thanks for the insight. I'm hoping it's just carb, not a bad crank seal but only one way to find out I guess .

ty..worked out perfect...20 minutes start to finish.....

Going to try it tonight. Have a small gas leak when choke open, so I guess we'll see what''s going on. Thanks brother.

Great job as always, guess its pretty cold there can see your breath. Great job , keep pumping them out.

Awesome video! You fixed my Toro 3650 issues! Thanks sir!

Thanks for the video. Mine was a newer model and it was a little different but very similar. Much easier than I expected. Much appreciated! Only problem is, now I have to use it!

My 2003 CCR3650 did get a new carb and a full cleaning, lubing and touch up painting. It surges however. I adjusted the throttle spring tension but no matter what the Governor wire seems to be letting the throttle butterfly pulse open and closed. Hmmm. Runs snd starts well otherwise. Thanks for any input.

Thanks, just the same as my Lawn Boy 720e. Wow getting the body parts back on is a real PITA. Bought mine for $70 CDN just need the carb cleaned runs great!

thanks for the video ,it helped . my question is how do/can you adjust the choke wire to operate the choke properly? i noticed that the choke lever just pushes in without moving the choke at all. Thanks Steve

Great video! Just what I needed & very good explanation.

Good info. There's lots to see on your channel! .. just subscribed

Good idea on bending the spray tube.

Jewlers eye piece is a great idea. I'm going to get one. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for the great video! First time I’ve seen a float like this, is that some type of cork?
