Would you consider making one for money? I do not have a sewing machine, but I have the need for an awning bag!!!

That was super helpful! Thank you so much! Also I’m In Canada - do you remember the name of the place that sells the fabric you were looking for?

If your changing oil because it won't run, it's too late.

Some good ideas here! My original bag is vinyl, but I think that rather than duck, I will try some Sunbrella fabric, which is what my popup's tent sides made from. I'll also heed the advice to cut the material bigger than the template - especially as my vinyl bag was barely long enough for the awning U-channel (and the reason that my bag ends are failing). Thanks for including info about where to buy items. It looks like you have one of the old "workhorse" Singer machines. My Touch 'N Sew was so reliable - I repaired it several times with a machine that I bought for parts, but finally had to give up and buy new when plastic interior parts were no longer available. I then sold both machines for parts and all accessories on Ebay, netting about $250 from others who also loved their old machines.

Thank you for this video. I am in about the same predicament. We went to go camping yesterday and everything was good and then a man in another car on the expressway was trying to tell me something. We pulled off at the next exit and I walked around looking for what he could have been saying and found the dust cap off and a clear problem with the bearings and the wheel was hot. Thank goodness he told us or we could have been in a serious accident. We were 90 miles from home, I stopped at an Auto Zone and got a tub of grease and kept packing it by hand about every 10 miles going about 30mph the whole way (not on the expressway). 1 mile from home we heard loud noises and got home to lots of smoke. I don’t know that it was the best move. This video gave me more confidence to go out, take it apart and assess the damage. Thank you!!!

Nice job Wendy. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, great job Wendy!

This is awesome!! I'm rebuilding the roof of a 2006 Forest River 208 and the awning bag is in the same condition. Thank you for the materials and source breakdown! Any chance you remember the Canadian source for the canvas?

Thank you! Very helpful!

Very good video, thank you very much. Mike from Montreal.

Thank you. Just bought a used blower like yours and will check the items mentioned.

This is a great video. Thanks for the detailed information. Much appreciated!

You also need a carb cleaning, try some Seafoam mixed the gas to clean it first.

I'm having the exact same issue with my 2620. I will try your advice and let you know if it works for me. THANK YOU for sharing!

You can go one step further when you have time by using some really small drill bits to clean out the carb buildup in those screws that hold the carburetor together and that clears up the surging.

Hey Wendy I hate to break this to you but I’ve been doing this for 60 years that was good change the spark plug if you forgot one thing I forgot the gap it you put the wrong oil in it that doesn’t take two cycle oil you need to put 5W-30 engine oil in

I am proud of you for trying and actually fixing it.

Good information, did you say you used 2 cycle oil ?

Good work! thanks, think i will be doing this, this weekend.

Indiana too! They are so cute.

Good job!

Congratulations on your successful 'repair'. Very entertaining. Now all your neighbors will be running to you with every repair issue.

Use engineered fuel, (TruFuel). No ethanol in it, has a 3 plus year shelf life. A little pricey, but worth it. You will not have a fuel related carb problem.

Thank you so much I have the same one for 13 years now only once I had fix the carb I like to run it dry and no problems

Always run your blower on High test non ethanol gas. Bought a used Ariens Deluxe 30 snowblower 5 years ago, started using Shell Ultra premium gas ( non ethanol) as soon as I got it & it cleaned up the carb & have had no problems since. I don't empty the fuel out of the tank after sitting all summer & it fires right up on one pull.

Hi , again great video and thanks for your time to make it! Windy you rock

Great Video I was wondering if you can point out to what spark plug did you purchase to replace the OEM part? Thanks

I have the same blower with similar symptoms, runs best between choke and run, ill have to look at the carb, but it always starts right up. I definitely recommend non ethanol fuel for any equipment that is prone to sitting for extended periods. The ethanol fuel doesn't last and attracts water, which settles to the bottom of the tank and goes right to the carb on gravity feed, hence no start, bad running. Sometimes you can open the carb drain and watch the water run out. I put my blower away last spring with 1/4 tank and no stabilizer and when I pulled it out in November it fired right up. Most people will tell you to drain the fuel or fill the tank and add stabilizer when putting away for the year, but I have found that unnecessary with ethanol free fuel.

THATS THE WRONG OIL THAT IS FOR 2 CYCLE ENGINES YOUR BLOWER HAS A 4 CYCLE ENGINE 2 CYCLE OIL WILL DESTROY YOUR ENGINE ITS MADE TO BE MIXED WITH GASOLINE

Good job Wendy! FYI, when you are ready to store your small engine equipment for the season it's best to run it and drain all the fuel out of the tank and carburetor. Or you can start it up every several weeks and add fresh fuel. (More Expensive) Their are a few very good fuel additives that I trust, Lucas Safeguard, Echo Red Armor, Stab-Bil 360 and Starbright. It sounds like you need to remove the carb on your unit and give it a good cleaning, if it still surges, check out Taryl Fixes All or Steve's small engine repair, great informative videos. Also when you drain the oil, remove the dipstick to help drain the oil and I like to poor a few ounces of fresh oil into the crankcase to remove the rest of the old oil out, especially since these engines only hold 20 ounces of oil and no oil filter.

Changing the oil is a good idea once a year. But it had nothing to do with an engine running poorly.

Great presentation. Keep them coming.

Fantastic work. Those Torch plugs that come from the factory are junk, even new ones make the motor run poorly compared to Champion or NGK. I use a square of aluminum foil to form a tray to direct oil away from the machine. Once done, I shake it off and toss it in the recycling.

WHY WOULD I WANT TO FIX YOUR TROY-BILT 2410 SNOWBLOWER, WHEN YOU JUST SAID YOU FIXED IT YOURSELF ⁉

Ethanol is a small engine killer. But if you absolutely HAVE to use it, treat it with Seafoam and/or Stabil 360. The treated ethanol gas will last 2-3 months, but after that, get rid of it. (Dump it into your car or truck). After the winter season, evacuate ALL treated gas from the snowblowers gas tank. (A hand-operated siphon pump works great for this. The kind with the rubber squeeze-ball.) Then, run the blower on the gas left in the fuel line and carb bowl until it stalls. Then, add an engineered fuel (such as True-Fuel) to the tank and let the blower run for a few minutes. Your task is now complete, and you can rest easy that your blower will start right up next winter. 😁

We have a small engine chat Saturday afternoon with some of the heavy hitters joining us like Bruce's Shop and Mick's Mowers. You should check it out. Even The Lawn Mower Lady chimes in from time to time. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/gDpzolt-820/видео.html

good vid, subbed to your channel.

It ain't always that simple, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing in the wrong hands as we are not all naturals at this sort of thing. There's gasoline which doesn't just burn it's far more explosive than other fuels, and its 'mischievous', people don't realise because their only experience of it is a nozzle in gas tank. For example, as in heavy, damp, seasonal air conditions in the open, plus your equipment has electricity and a spark plug, these things require an understanding and awareness before a complete novice does anything handy and acquires too much confidence for their skillset! Both can be a dangerous combination.

Hey there, Wendy. Safety first! Take of that ridiculously old-hat pretentious looking head gear, it's so played and the aboriginals get enough charity now from tourists but more importantly if your day bits get caught in an auger or something your hair could then follow and it's just really against all wise safety practices when working on machinery! It'll put you in hospital sooner or later if you get into doing more of this stuff. Even if it ain't pulled off your head, you might instinctively reach to save it and chew your hand up with the blower or worse the mower. It sets a bad example too for anyone else flowing your channel. Point 2: Whenever using tools and heavy materials don't when dangling jewellery, loose wrist straps etc.and don't wear your best wrist watch and preferably not your best glasses. At some point they will get damaged! Working on cold weather, doesn't matter, you must take the scarf off if you wear one while working one machinery. Finally, we all know about goggles and frostbitten fingers, nose, etc, it can happen quicker than one thinks. Think twice, act once - safely. Good luck fellow D.I.Y.ers. Happy holiday Wendy.

I used some seafoam spray and it did nothing! Don't buy a Craftsman they rust real fast and the engine is a bit temperamental, buy German, Dutch, or Japanese and if Korea makes a cheaper one buy that! Don't buy China brands! 👎 Sadly 'our' own companies don't seem to be very flexible and fast on their feet, never learn. They should learn to copy those who do it better, like part of Asia does, then maybe we'd have small engines that can live out in all weather and start up every time with no maintenance, like my old Honda mower did for decades. I don't know more than one brand of N.American snowblower that isn't "fussy", tempramentle, and at some point while still young - a royal pain in the goji berries! A.my neighbors say oil leaking spark ug on a 1 year old s. blower, won't start etc.

Good job little lady❤

Nothing better then a woman standing up and doing the job. That saved you a couple hundred. Nice job not too many ladies doing it on their own.

I'm no expert but this works for me; I run my equipment with 87 octane mixed with Stabil fuel stabilizer during the season. At the end of the season, I drain all remaining gas and pour ethanol-free gas to run 10 to 15 minutes. Drain any remaining gas and done with the fuel part. This has not failed me. Ethanol-free fuel is about $8 a quart but I rather pay that than try to figure out what the problem is when the snow starts coming...

Throwing parts at something is a rookie move and not what is wrong. You have to watch auto supply stores as they have no idea what they are doing other than reading a computer. I changed the plug for someone last winter that they replaced, it was the WRONG PLUG . The carburetor was green to the point it was destroyed. I keep telling owners to get recreational fuel for their equipment because ethanol fuel destroys small engines by attracting moisture. Being a snow blow sits more than it's run, leaving old fuel in the machine destroys the fuel system. All that smoke told me the carburetor was the issue. 98% of what I do is fuel related concerning small engine repair.

Great Job

I have exactly that same snowblower, it’s four years old. I had the exact same problem. I did exactly what you did and it started. Ran a little rough so I just let it run on choke for awhile get more of the old gas out of it eventually it smoothed out. Put it on run and bingo. Awesome 👌🏼

I got mine together today. I don't have the space to put it away fully assembled. I remove the upper handle /control panel and snorkel rotation rod. It's the second season for it so I haven't change the OEM oil yet. I make a gallon of gas at a time. I add STA-BIL 360 to the fuel and run it out of fuel at the end of the season. Its much better at straight path clearing, not easy to turn around or back up. I use my 20 inch Toro for side walks out to the street and walk ways to the steps..

If you can buy 94 octane ethanol free fuel in your state use that in your snowblower and it will run great. I use a product called Sea Foam and I add a capful of it every time I fill up the tank. It will keep your carburetor and fuel system clean and it also acts as a fuel stabilizer. I run that in my snowblower, lawnmower, and rototiller and all the spitting and sputtering and engine surging is gone and they will all start even when they have not been run in months at a time.
