I managed to get mine started by quick & dirty going up the keister with a bread-clip wire & spraying carb cleaner up there (not sure if I was supposed to do that). I left some ethanol-free gas in the tank thinking it was ok - only to find it wouldn’t start. After going up the keister, I siphoned out the gas - added some 4-month old gas & Seafoam - and it started. I ran it for a while, it surges when going off choke, but runs. I’m gonna get some high end ethanol free gas and add more Seafoam, and hope that clears it up! I’ve barely used the thing.
MCGUYVER! Surging is bc the idle circuit is plugged! That hole is WAY TOO TINY! try and clean it but I strongly suggest you open it up with a micro drill bit so it doesn't clog so easy. Please stop leaving gas in the machine between seasons. That is the reason why the machine is having issues. Even though it is barely used still needs to be serviced. Please change the oil and service the rest of the machine as well.
Had a little difficulty figuring out drill bit size using micro bits I have but did and bam. Back in action 100% and funny I did about the same victory dance. Lol. Thanks and really appreciate the video
Snowblower yoga and the cheap and easy helped me. I did it a few years ago. I just had to refer to this video. It helped again. thankful to not remove the carb all together. she started. thank you
Any snowblower beats shoveling snow. I feel like machine suffered from operator error. Really don't see alot of issues with MTD made machines once you upgrade the impeller.
Agree with the first statement. Not so much on second one. Any machine beats shoveling. Modify the impeller as I’ve shown on my channel and it will turn your cheap blower into a nice high end ariens
Jason...Enjoyed the video I was swapping machines by prepping my summer lawn equipment for winter storage I pulled out my snowblower started without issue but it ran poorly.. I use fuel stabilizer and run all my gas powered machines dry before storage and year after year they run like a champ except the snowblower. I know I can clean the carb and I will but I went ahead and bought a new carb along with the fuel shut valve that has falied on this machine.. I dont seem to have much luck with this light use blower. it looks brand new.. I am going to try something different going forward and buy non ethenol fuel for all my small engines see if that makes any difference.. Stay Safe!
Wait…did you try and drill out idle circuit? That could have been your issue. Nothing wrong with NEW and it’s not going to break the bank either. I know you ordered new…did you drop the bowl yet. Curious to what it looks like on the inside. Send me photos and vids on Instagram 😉
My Cub Cadet is the 3X 26" . Bought it new last year. I forgot to run it completely out of gas and then drain the bowl. Would not start. Used the torch tip cleaner per instructions. It started first pull. Up the keister !
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just speaking my language to us common folks! Glad it worked out for you! Hopefully you are still in fix it mode! Now is a great time to service the rest of the machine! Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up to help others and subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
I wish I had seen this video before paying a small engine repairman for a house visit. I was afraid to mess with my carburetor until you walked me through it with the perfect level of detail. Thank you for this awesome video.
You can use anything from a Christmas Ornament Hook, Bread Twisty Tie to a thin piece of wire. I do have in the link of the description a link to a really cheap kit if you can wait (snow isnt on the way) Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel.
I had that exact same problem. I added some Sea Foam. I got it started, and let it run with the choke partially on for several minutes. I turned the choke off, and it has ran great ever since . What do you think was then problem. I thought gas line freeze?
You need to clean the idle circuit jet but while it’s out just open it up to the next size. In the description of the video is a link for micro drill bits. Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel. 🇺🇸🔧🦅🤙🏻
Another great video & useful Tip ! This trick works wonders when there's a low spd jet.When you have a carbs w/out a low spd jet what can you do. I have a powemax rt now w a Briggs...Surging..& no low spd jet. I've soaked the carb over nt in Gunk Parts cleaner to no avail. Surge isn't terrible , but still there. Also putting an ultrasonic on order in nxt few days.
Excellent instructions. My carb had dirt in it from using an older metal gas can. Cleaned out the jets and debris clogging them. Float bowl had bits of dirt in it and cleaned that up. Thank you very much.
If you haven’t already…now is a great time to change the oil and tune up the machine. I have videos on that as well! Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
Got a brand new cub cadet snow blower last year and it worked great. This year I got it to start but it would stall immediately when I went to use the auger and I was pretty disappointed as it’s near new. I then used a Christmas ornament wire and did the quick and dirty trick! Worked like a charm after! Thank you!
I have a Cub Cadet I just bought for 2019. I have learned. Make sure every drop of gas is out of that engine at season’s end. And to change the oil every year. This video worked like a charm. I fixed mine like 2 hrs ago. This guy probably saved us $150 to $200.
Mine ran great until I put her away last February. Tried to start it yesterday and wouldn't start...and the gas smelled sour. I watched a couple RUclips videos and did like I've done before. drained the fuel, ran cleaner through it, removed the carb and bowl and cleaned out everything as best I could. Put it all back together with good gas and she started up, but ran rough and even worse with the choke all the way off. Then I watched THIS video at (13:56 minutes) where you micro-drilled out the idle jet in that one black plastic screw and tried that. WOW! That worked amazing. Great call! Thanks!
Great job! Don't forget to change the oil and service the rest of the machine! If you INSIST on leaving gas between season please use seafoam in your gas. Your tank is metal...I don't believe you should be leaving gas between seasons.
Thanks for the walk through. My machine started surging off choke and then got to where it would only run 20-30 seconds before stalling and dieing. No partial choke needed, no more surging off choke, and no more stalling. Had to pull the jet and micro drill it just like you showed. It runs like new.
YOU BAILED YOURSELF OUT! These videos mean nothing without people like yourself who take the intiativr to DIY! HOPEFULLY YOU ARE STILL IN FIX IT MODE...now is a great time to change the oil and service the rest of the machine! I have videos on that as well! Happy Blowing
I've got the same snowblower that isn't getting fuel. I've had the cover off, drained the gas, checked for spark, sprayed starting fluid in the spark plug and it started on first pull then died. If I don't have a torch cleaning tip, what would you think, diameter wise that would fit ?
Do you have a Christmas Ornament Hook or bread twisty tie? Just use the links in the description to buy the tools they are too cheap not to have. Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel!
@@pattayperformance That's exactly what I used. A paper clip is to big but the Christmas tree ornament wire did the trick. It started on the first pull. But I'm going to have to drill out the port like you showed too. This is one of the more helpful youtube videos I've seen in awhile. Big thanks for taking the time and effort to post it !!
@@pattayperformance Well... that's a terrible place to be and also the best place to be at times. I've found if ya mess with the nurses every chance ya get it helps to keep yourself in good spirits! Quick recovery to ya and thanks again for the long distance help.
I did everything every video told me to do.. I then replaced the carb... Starts, runs at most 30 seconds... I pulled the gas tank off and the nipple that connects to the fuel line has a filter on it.. I cleaned the filter and it running at 100%
This worked for me. I imagine the plugged fuel tube is the cause of most engines that don't start. The wire I had was too thick and I ended up using a nylon bristle from a broom. I wouldn't recommend using anything that could break and get stuck. Also sprayed some carb cleaner into the hole.
Good instructions. I did the short-cut injector clean out you first showed. And it worked. It’s running rough at times in idle. Like is snaps and pops. But a went from no start for 3 days to blowing out my entire driveway and sidewalks. You think an additive can clear that up? I also changed my oil to that Purple your recommended. Thanks for the video!
Ok,I have a cub cadet like this one,last winter I couldn't get it to start,I followed your video last year on how to clear the jet thru the float blow,it worked like a charm!!!....now this year its reving up and down worce when the choke is totally off...should I just try and clean that jet again like last year? Thank John
Thanks a bunch Sir. First you video is crystal clear. No shakiness with camera, and explained / showed everything as simplistic can be. You would make a great small engine instructor. I have this same machine bought it last yr, and could not understand why it was not starting since I always 93 octane with stabilizer additive in all my small engine machines. I decided to see on youtube if there was any how to videos about this and found yours. I was also going to have the store pick up my unit, but am tired of paying them for a pick up fee. When you buy expensive lawn and garden equipment from a place they should not charge a customer a pick up fee cause being a business they get tax right offs their trucks anyway I still believe. I know mine was still under warranty, but did not want to pay that stupid pick up fee. Thanks again.
Even though your machine is still covered under warranty, this repair isn't. It is not the machine's fault you didn't run it out of fuel. Businesses can still write off their trucks to a certain extent. Nothing is free... Cost of Truck Insurance Fuel Maintenance Repairs Paying Employee to pick up and drop off We don't offer Free P/U and Del Either. We start at $25 and up. that fee hasn't changed in all the years of doing this. It is due for increase but trying our best to keep things consistent since NOTHING is promised with the current times.
Great video just now did this and it worked like a charm my neighbor was going to send it to get fixed guy wanted 150 dollars and a full week took me less than 10 mins thank you.
AWESOME! Hopefully you are still in fix it mode! Now is a great time to change the oil and service the rest of machine! Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up to help others and subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
I think I have two exact same snowblower. Mine does not start I pull out the spark plug and cleaned up black stuff. Then it starts. Great. But a few minutes later,when I try to start it again it does not. I look at the spark plug it has a little bit of black, I clean again, and then after a few pulls, it starts. What could be the issue here? It should start whenever i pull it right? Shouldn't need to clean a plug each time
No but I think maybe switch out the factory torch plug to an NGK/Champion Equivalent. My suggestion is with new plug…problem still persists…pull plug without cleaning to confirm it’s sparking. Carbon build up on a spark plug could be Weak ignition (failing coil) Carb is over fueling Heat range (spark plug related) Start with a new plug and keep me updated 🤙🏻🦅🔧🇺🇸
@@pattayperformance thanks! Actually that's exactly what I did. End of last year, I bought a Champion spark plug and it started right away. Then next time I tried (after snow storm came) it wouldn't start. I gave up Then winter was over. So I drained the gas and ran it until it stopped itself. A few days ago, tried to start it for the first time this winter, that's when my situation (above) happened. I just changed the oil (black looking) to fresh oil. Cleaned the Champion spark plug , but I didn't want to try it because seems like the first try works then subsequently won't. So I am waiting for the next snow fall, to try to start it (when I really need it) I also bought a new NGK spark plug as a spare. Ready to go. Black deposited on the spark plug is burning too rich ? I read. How do I prevent that?
@@tubetop123 over fuel could be a defective carb… It’s a Honda style so it’s really not rebuildable/workable. I would replace it Unfortunately I’m partially color blind so I can’t check for weak spark until my wife comes home. For the most part I don’t bother her bc parts are cheap and just replace the coil.
Now is a great time to change the oil and service the machine! I have videos on that as well! Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel🔧🦅🇺🇸🤙🏻
I’m sorry I’m late to responding. RUclips never sent me a notification. Glad you got your machine sorted out! Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up to help others and subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
🤣 Under Biden's America, as if the Prez controls the price of gas .. (any Prez btw ... they do not). Other than that very good vid since it covers more than just the simple carb clean.
@@pattayperformance Hypocrisy exists on both sides and can be pointed out at any moment. Just stick to your game bro. Leave the payed shills out of your life.
my 0-ring is not attached to the bowl like in this video.... what should i use to get it to stay because it's impossible to put the bowl back on with the ring in place if it's not attached
@@chrissmith4020 I understand that…rebuild kit costs more than a brand new carb. You are better off buying a new carb and using it for parts. Keep that carb on the shelf sure if will come in handy. Do as you please but I’m telling dollars and sense!
Hello Jason, I was curious as to what weight Royal Purple oil that you use for your small engine stuff. Most of all the truck & tractor pullers within this area also use the Royal Purple oil for their very high dollar engines.
@@pattayperformance Looks like here locally that a quart of 5w30 Royal Purple is around $10.99 at Advance Auto Parts/Carquest. The 5 quart container is $39.99.
Today my father and I tried to start our snowblower. It is the exact same model as yours, we did what you showed, but it still won't start! Do you know why? Edit: Now it somewhat starts, the light turns on to full beam, but then after 2 seconds it just turns off. Is it because the oil is too old?
Confirm the key is in… Did you try any diagnostic steps? What were they and what were the results? If not… Squirt starter fluid into the carb and try to start or pull the spark plug squirt starter fluid into the hole, install plug and try and start. If machine runs and dies, you have a fuel issue and need to clean the carb…must have missed a spot. Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel🦅🔧🤙🏻🇺🇸
@@pattayperformance I did. You showed how to remove it with the carburetor removed from the machine. The point I was trying to make is that you don’t need to remove the carburetor to clean the tube. That’s all I was pointing out.
Great video , love that little ratchet that you are using . Small but still good power and speed .
You gotta get one of them!
I am an older woman and so proud that I fixed it myself instead of paying a fortune to a small engine repairman, Thank you so much!

Moral of the day in snowblower only buy Toro , Ariens, or Honda anything else you are potsing around like guy ….❤
Any snowblower beats shoveling snow. I feel like machine suffered from operator error. Really don't see alot of issues with MTD made machines once you upgrade the impeller.

I think I have two exact same snowblower. Mine does not start I pull out the spark plug and cleaned up black stuff. Then it starts. Great.
But a few minutes later,when I try to start it again it does not.
I look at the spark plug it has a little bit of black, I clean again, and then after a few pulls, it starts.
What could be the issue here? It should start whenever i pull it right? Shouldn't need to clean a plug each time
No but I think maybe switch out the factory torch plug to an NGK/Champion Equivalent.
My suggestion is with new plug…problem still persists…pull plug without cleaning to confirm it’s sparking.
Carbon build up on a spark plug could be
Weak ignition (failing coil)
Carb is over fueling
Heat range (spark plug related)
Start with a new plug and keep me updated 🤙🏻🦅🔧🇺🇸
@@pattayperformance thanks! Actually that's exactly what I did.
End of last year, I bought a Champion spark plug and it started right away. Then next time I tried (after snow storm came) it wouldn't start. I gave up

Unfortunately I’m partially color blind so I can’t check for weak spark until my wife comes home. For the most part I don’t bother her bc parts are cheap and just replace the coil.
Just fixed my blower using your first instructions! Saved me so much time and money. Thank you very much!!!!
Now is a great time to change the oil and service the machine! I have videos on that as well!

step 1: sell the pos and get a blower where the carb and plug is accessible.
It is accessible
@@pattayperformance compare it to a flathead and try to tell me that again.
🤣 Under Biden's America, as if the Prez controls the price of gas .. (any Prez btw ... they do not). Other than that very good vid since it covers more than just the simple carb clean.
Well don’t we just love the hypocrisy of the left…

Thanks for the view and compliments!
Stick to your trade videos. Stay away from the politics. It'll do you no good.
@@MrPeterMerkin thanks for the advice but I just like calling out the hypocrisy of the left. See how he disappeared🤣
@@pattayperformance Hypocrisy exists on both sides and can be pointed out at any moment. Just stick to your game bro. Leave the payed shills out of your life.
@@MrPeterMerkin Life wasn’t so bad under the previous regime. No side is perfect…these people are delusional and can’t admit no fault.
my 0-ring is not attached to the bowl like in this video.... what should i use to get it to stay because it's impossible to put the bowl back on with the ring in place if it's not attached
Another gasket but at this point just order a new carb for less than $20 and install it or use it for parts
@@pattayperformancePerformance.. its brand new
@@pattayperformance same exact blower as in the vid literally used it once
@@chrissmith4020 I understand that but a rebuild kit costs more than a carb.
@@chrissmith4020 I understand that…rebuild kit costs more than a brand new carb.
You are better off buying a new carb and using it for parts. Keep that carb on the shelf sure if will come in handy.
Do as you please but I’m telling dollars and sense!
Hello Jason, I was curious as to what weight Royal Purple oil that you use for your small engine stuff. Most of all the truck & tractor pullers within this area also use the Royal Purple oil for their very high dollar engines.
5w-30!
@@pattayperformance Looks like here locally that a quart of 5w30 Royal Purple is around $10.99 at Advance Auto Parts/Carquest. The 5 quart container is $39.99.
Today my father and I tried to start our snowblower. It is the exact same model as yours, we did what you showed, but it still won't start! Do you know why?
Edit: Now it somewhat starts, the light turns on to full beam, but then after 2 seconds it just turns off. Is it because the oil is too old?
Confirm the key is in…
Did you try any diagnostic steps? What were they and what were the results?
If not…
Squirt starter fluid into the carb and try to start or pull the spark plug squirt starter fluid into the hole, install plug and try and start.
If machine runs and dies, you have a fuel issue and need to clean the carb…must have missed a spot.
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel🦅🔧🤙🏻🇺🇸
@@purplesocks9745 you can try…or just remove the spark plug spray starter fluid down the hole into the motor and reinstall the plug.
@@purplesocks9745 don’t forget a thumbs on the video. Helps out when others are in need.
Keep me updated about your machine! 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
@@purplesocks9745 do you have Instagram?

You don’t need to take off The whole housing. You can remove the emulsion tube and clean it without doing all that.
Thanks for informing us that you didn’t watch the whole video 🤣🤣🤣
If you did you would understand why 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pattayperformance I did. You showed how to remove it with the carburetor removed from the machine. The point I was trying to make is that you don’t need to remove the carburetor to clean the tube. That’s all I was pointing out.
@@joshastana849 you didn’t watch the whole video.
Thanks for stopping by
@@pattayperformance lol ok 👌

Smack it up... FLIP it... RUB IT DOWN... oh, noooooo....
