- Easy fix:
If you watch this video you will see there is a brass bowl below the carburetor. It is accessible between the tire and frame. There are (2) 10mm bolts on this brass bowl. Drain all the gas from the tank with a siphon back into a gas container. Unscrew the bolt that's off center to empty the gas out off the brass bowl. If no fuel comes out of the bowl that is a good sign that the jet is clogged! Make sure to catch that in a separate cup. Then unscrew the center bolt and the brass bowl will come off with a black rubber o-ring. Next use a small flat head screwdriver to unscrew the brass screw from the center shaft, see this video on the detached carburetor. When you unscrew this you will have 2 brass pieces total. Clean both as shown in this video. Then put the long brass jet back in the center hole. Hold it in place as you screw the small brass screw back in place. Then reattached the brass bowl with the black rubber o-ring and be sure both bolts are tight. Refill gas and your unit should start.

Not sure who is more surprised that I fixed my snowblower.... Me or my wife.....LOL Thank You!!!!!!
A family member moved and gave me this snowblower and only used it once the year before. I followed this video and got it running. Here I am a year later and it won't start again so I am back. Thank you for this video, of all the videos I watched, this one made it super easy!
As the author of this video thought you might get a kick out of the fact that I did not follow my own advice and drain the gas last year. But with other good comments and advice it only took me 15 minutes to get it up and running this morning!
How in the world could you not give this video a thumbs up??? This man is a genius!!! This video saved me hundreds of dollars and having to shovel almost a foot of snow. My blower had been in storage for almost two years. Major snow storm was coming and snow blower would not start. Followed this video step by step and it worked!!! I do recommend removing the wheel first to allow extra space when removing the center bolt if you don't have a small screwdriver. Also, be prepared to catch both pieces when removing the center bolt. I almost lost the first piece because it came out unexpectant and I couldn't find it when it hit the ground. Thanks again!!!
You literally saved me over $200 and 4-5 weeks that was quoted to me from my local mower/engine repair shop!! I followed the video exactly and my snowblower fired right up!! Thanks!
I appreciate all the kind words. I felt the same way when my unit wouldn’t start. So I figured if I could help just a few people it would be worth it:) Thanks again Chris
How did you remove the choke know without breaking it?
I cannot express how much I appreciate you for this video. #Not all heroes wear capes!!!
This video is fantastic. I'm an idiot with this stuff, but after multiple attempts and several views of this video, some carb cleaner, I was able to get the snowblower fired up and running! Thank you so much!
My snowblower would not start., it was brand new last year. Screwed around for an hour and a half trying to get it started. No luck. Came in googled and watched this video. Followed the instructions. BOOOM, 30 minutes later... started on the 2nd pull. Can not thank you enough for posting this video. I am sure your saved me at least $150 bucks and hassle. YOU THE MAN!
Saved my back from a major Michigan blizzard headed our way. Thanks for the tutorial
Great demo! Hope my 1-year old 2410 will start now because it wouldn't last night! Which is why I watched your video. Thanks!
As numerous others have posted already -Thank You- my storm 2460 wouldn’t start, watched numerous videos on RUclips, finally saw and watched yours. Pulled the jet out, it was partially clogged. Used a needle to unplug. Reinstalled. Fired right up. Before when I would prime it it didn’t seem like it was getting fuel. After I did that the first pump of the primer I could tell a difference. Thank you again so much
8" on the ground here in Montana and a 2 year old 2410 that won't start. You, my new friend, have saved the day for this 69 year old guy. Thank you.
hey, thank you very much! You just save my one year old blower. I have to blow my drive way and the blower is not starting. You just saved my blower and my day. Thank you very much!
Great video! Worked like a charm. I saw many other videos by professional mechanics who did not seem aware that the brass fuel jet could be removed with a screwdriver. Thank you.
One more thing. I did as other viewers did and tipped machine on its front auger while working on it. Also removed the one tire on carb side to allow better access so as to apply more leverage on the screw driver in turning that tough little brass screw out. Tapping lightly with hammer at end of driver as you suggested made the difference in getting it out turning LEFT, counter clockwise.
My son in law had let his 2410 snow blower set for a few seasons due to lack of snow and he didn't drain out the old gas. He went to start it last season when we had lots of snow and it wouldn't start. Unit was essentially brand new. I said I would help him get it going this season and found this great video on cleaning the carburetor jet. The video is well done and the process outlined works. I just finished the cleaning process as outlined in the video and the unit started up on the first try. A few tips I want to reinforce from other commenters. 1. Placing the snow blower 90 degrees from normal position to rest on the auger blade casing is a good tip. That really makes getting to the jet screw and removal of the jet nozzle much easier. You can now see into that center float guide barrel. 2. The jet nozzle didn't fall down or out for me. Using a unwound paper clip as suggested by others allowed me to get the end of the clip into the nozzle hole and gently coax the nozzle out. That worked great too. Cleaned the nozzle holes with a needle and carb cleaner, they were gummed up, and reinstalled. Reinstallation with the unit resting on the auger blade casing made that step a breeze, horizontal install vs vertical. Added clean gas, cleaned the spark plug and the unit started right up. Great video and commenter tips! I learned some more since my last post. Discussed the gunk problem with Troy Bilt tech support since this emulsion tube blocking happens very quickly. They advised the issue is the ethanol gas and recommended me to use non ethanol gas such as Trufuel, found it sold at Lowes. Also advised to not let fuel in the system for more than 30 days. Last advice was to run the system dry when done snow blowing and then drain the carburetor bowl. Sounds like a lot but that's what it may take to prevent future carb gunk from forming.
First video that popped up when I searched “troybilt storm 2410 won’t start.” Saved my butt today since we’re expected to get 8” of snow for the first time this winter 😂 thanks you!
Great video. The bottom piece was plugged right in the middle. Just blew some compressed air through it and fired right up. Thank you for going into detail about the o ring.
Great job explaining the procedure-natural teacher...thanks!!!
Thanks. At a time where I just can't throw money around plus wait wks for a repair shop to fix. I like working with my hands anyway. Manual showed squat. These companies don't want you to be able to fix at home. You've been great!
A few things...
First of all. Thank you for posting this, it saved my ass today after the nor'easter we had last night!
Secondly. for anyone whom has the misfortune of owning one of these Troy Bilt, Craftsman, MTD etc... plan on this being a part of your yearly maintenance/storage regimen.
When removing the jet not just any flathead will fit. The head will need to be narrow, and the blade can't be very thick. Hollow ground screwdrivers would work best.
I used a needle to clean the holes in the jet, but you can use a pipe cleaner by carefully threading it through the center of the jet to remove larger debris.
My parents very graciously bought this for Christmas 3 years ago along with an extended "warranty". I was able to use it 3 or for times that season and put it away until the following year. I use the same gas for all of my equipment (93 octane only!). Second year, first storm, go to fire it up and nothing... Had the warranty so back to Lowes it went. I conveniently got it back the next spring... They said it was bad gas, the same gas that I had been using in my mower, trimmer etc... Never a problem with them. No snow worth blowing last year. Something told me I should prep it for this season, but I didn't. Went to fire it up today, and nothing. It would only run on ether. I knew it was the carb, and a few clicks later I found your video. I took it apart per your instructions, cleaned and reassembled. Still needed ether to get it going, and it wouldn't stay running unless I left it fully choked, and even then it ran pig rich and was surging. So I know I have to pull the carb and thoroughly douche it out. I have never in my life had this many issues with a small engine, and I have worked on hundreds of them. Design flaw, maybe? I know the ethanol content in current gas is what is causing it to gum up, but seriously when you use the same fuel on older equipment year after year w/o issue is certainly infuriating! I am damn close to putting a for sale sign on it and buying a better unit, or at least one with a better motor i.e. honda, kohler, anything that doesn't share this OHV pos. Rant over lol, thank you again for the info. It definitely got me out of a bind this afternoon, but I know I am going to need to pull it apart again and really clean it well.
-Chris-
Super helpful. Just was gifted a one year old version of this from a neighbor. He left the gas in it from last season. Drained it out and put fresh gas in and no luck. Went through this process and it started immediately. Thank you!
cdillo, Add me o the list of folks here that think you are awesome. 8" of snow expected tonight and a snow blower that wouldn't start. Plenty of spark, no gas. Your video was excellent and following its instructions did the trick. Thanks again for posting it.
Rock on buddy! Thanks for the help! I had to take the whole carburetor off to get the little flute to drop. But it started right up after cleaning it. Premium gas from now on in the small engines.
Thank you for your video, this helped me get my snow blower running. I was not able to get the jet out, but I was able to get the straw of the carb cleaner into the shaft after taking out the screw and I spayed the jet as best as possible. Reassembled everything and unit started after 2nd attempt!!
Thank you so much, I had the same problem, left the gas after the season and it wouldn’t start. I followed this and tipped the snow blower on auger housing for better access. Thanks again!!
This is just what I needed, thanks! For what it's worth, this is easier to do if the snowblower is tipped forward 90 degrees and resting on the housing around the auger. Two bolts, a screwdriver, and some carb cleaner were all I needed to get running again. No more ethanol blend for me.
Will you be adding dry gas to keep the fuel lines from freezing? Which is the same as ethanol. The ethanol absorbs water but ethanol gas comes with an unknown amount of water already in it. Ethanol gas is mostly a problem with carbs that have a diaphragm in them as it degrades the them and causes them to fail. Your snowblower gas is gravity fed and does not have a diaphragm. Not saying ethanol in gas is a good thing.
Agree with leaning it forward to get to carburetor! Made for easy access!
@@MrGaspasser3 That helps on the back but there is no gas shutoff.
This guy in this video is DEAD ON ....CORRECT .......awesome video man
Thanks for the video! We're supposed to get 10" of snow tomorrow and my parents couldn't get theirs to start. They're good to go now!
If you can't get the brass jet out, we used a very fine crochet hook. Fed it up inside the shaft, caught it with the hook, and it came right out.
You are my hero! I thought I had put away for the summer correctly, but couldn't start for the storm. I even set up an appointment to get fixed but gave your video a try...IT WORKED!!! Made me feel like my father!
I've never attempted engine work before but thought I'd give it a try to avoid a costly repair. This worked perfectly!!!! Thank you for this awesome video!
Like many other people on here, this worked like a charm. Thanks
Nice video and good information, The only thing different would be to pull your pull cord out until there is resistance then give it a good pull,works all the time. thank you for this channel. P.S. I'm not Betty that's my wife I'm frank
You seriously saved me from throwing my blower in front of an on coming snow plow. Got 6+ inches of snow last weekend (first substantial snow in 2 years), and the stupid thing wouldn't start, so had to shovel the whole drive by hand.
It's 4 or 5 years old and basically brand new, as I've only used it 10 times max, so I was baffled why it wouldn't start. Did what you showed and she fired up first pull. Thanks man!
Followed your instructions which were very easy to understand 2 pulls started smooth ready for Izzy! Thank you!!
THANK YOU! Because of your video, I got my snow blower running again. I would just add two tips. Tip the snow blower up 90 degrees in the "service" position to make the job a bit easier. Also, be careful using Vaseline on rubber o-rings. It's petroleum based and isn't recommended on rubber.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together! It was not only eye-opening to see how to do this work ... but you made it easy for someone who has never done this before to follow you step by step and complete this without a technician having to do a service visit. You saved me a $200 service / tune up right before a big snow storm is supposed to hit us later tonight / early tomorrow morning. You're a life saver!!
did you just use a small screw driver to get in there? or did you have to remove the axel & wheel? i'm buying a smaller screw driver tomorrow.. just draining and replacing with fresh gas isnt working so i hope cleaning the fuel jet will work. my blower is ~12 months old. same model.
Thank you! I waited until today to test the snowblower and it would NOT start. Big snow on the way this weekend, so was stressed out. Yours was the first and last video i needed to watch. Completely fixed now!
Thank you! Great Video! I pulled the bowl and saw gunk in it and knew this was going to work. We're expecting snow tomorrow and thanks to you I'm ready.
Thank you for posting this video. It got my snow blower working again.
The pin didn't look that bad, I still cleared it and now my snowblower works!! Thank you from Wisconsin and 12in of snow!
Love it. Thank you so much. Mine was a year old and wouldn't start. After watching your video, started so easy. We had so much snow today. Thanks a million.
Thank you so much for the upload. I am horrible with anything mechanical as far as diagnosing what the problem or solution is. This video was perfect and helped me fix my snowblower! Thank you!
I would recommend removing the tire. Made life much easier. I spent an entire evening on this little project. Thank you for the video.
I also removed the tire but can’t seem to get it back on. It’s like the axel isn’t extending as far as it should.
Did you have to take off both tires?
Just did this with the help of my father in law! Worked perfectly! Just in time for 9 inches of snow tomorrow.
Thank you for the video, watched it and cleaned the jets. Put it all back together and it fired right up! The only thing I did different was to push the machine forward onto the blade cage to for better access to remove and then reinstall the jet and the bowl. That also kept the o ring right in place.
Thanks to your video I was able to fix my snowblower. It was really detailed and helpful Thanks.
Just want to say thank you! This worked perfectly for me as I am an idiot and left gas in my tank all summer. Seriously saved me hundreds of dollars to get it serviced. Thank you and happy holidays. You are the man!
Thanks so much for this video. Waited too long to try out my snowblower this season, and couldn't get it started with 3" on the ground and more on the way! I tilted it forward to remove the cover, brought it back to let the pieces drop out, cleaned them and I was on my way. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the help. I found your video last year and I did this last year and it worked. This year when it wouldn't start, to save time and work, I turned the machine on its side so the fuel wouldn't run, took off the brass dome, and then put the little tube on a can of starter fluid (like the tube with compressed air or WD40 spray) put it in the shaft into the brass screw that holds the jet piece, and gave it a good blast. Put it back together and set it upright and it fired right up.
I performed this repair yesterday following your instructions - the snowblower immediately turned on after I ran a pin through the value nut and valve. My only struggle was removing the nut and pin from the carb. I had to pick up the snowblower and drop it down a few times. Thanks for the clear instructions.
Also I got a fuel siphon from lowes for $3.98 and a tube of silicion grease for $3 as well - made life alot easier!
Thanks again!
Lithium grease works, as well. This procedure worked perfectly for me. Thanks you VERY much.
I had the issues you showed on your video....I followed your cleaning steps and machine roared back to life....great video
Just wanted to thank you as well. Followed the video and repeated all of your steps and now the Troy Bolt 2410 runs great. Had to use a shovel for the heavy snow storm two days ago before I located your video.Thanks so much!!
It started right up after following these directions! Thank you!
This actually worked for me. However, I ran into additional issues. In order to remove the jet, I had to remove a wheel. This caused other issues, and all of a sudden the wheels wouldn’t move. So I had to remove the cover from the drive shaft. A piece had fallen out. I was able to put everything back together, and it finally started AND moved. However, now it leaks gas when I prime. I’m sure this is a pretty simple fix though. Probably just an issue with the gasket. Inany case, this WORKED on my 2140!!
Thank you!!!!
Update: after watching the video again, I realized I put the jet in backwards and didn’t grease the seal. Very important. After doing it over again, it runs perfect. Please pay careful attention to his instructions and learn from my mistakes!
So thankful for this video. Thanks again!!!
My issues were purely my fault.
Thanks so much for this video! I was able to fix mine. Just in time for a huge snow storm!!
I was a bit nervous though since the jet did not look clogged at all. I cleaned it anyway. I didn’t have to remove the o ring either or the cover. I just took the screws off and was able to put it back together. Put gas in it, primed and it started!! On to snow blowing! Thx again!!
Did this tonight after installing a new plug and putting in fresh fuel. Worked like a charm. Started right up! Thanks for the tutorial!
I left a little bit of old gas in my snow blower last spring and it wouldn’t start the next season. I filled it with fresh gas and made several attempts to start it. I came inside and watched a couple of these videos. Then I went back out and it started. I think the fresh gas dissolved the gunk that was in the carburetor.
Worked like a charm. I couldn't start after 2 seasons. Followed the video step by step and it turned right over. Thx man!
Thank you very much for posting this - exactly what I needed. I'm up and running, and ready for the first snowfall.
Just did this to mine 10 mins ago and it started right up! Thanks
Thanks for the video. This helped me get my snowblower started after 5 months of being stored in my garage.
I could not get the slotted screw out to clean the jet, so i took canned air with the straw that comes with it, and blew straight into the jet. That worked. :-). Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though! I could not have done it without you.
Perfect, this video fixed my issue with cleaning the jet. only had 2 holes clogged but that is all it took to not allow it to start. Life saver thank you.
chakur25 I’ve seen a few people talk about sea foam a additive to add to the fuel that has eliminated this issue. I got some at my local gas station and will try that. Or I’ll just drain the fuel
chakur25 wonder if the carburetor is having issues. I’d probably start searching for that now. Or search backfiring now. Oh the joys of a engine.
Thank you for the video; it was very helpful. Let me add a couple things. Without having any tubing I wondered how to siphon the gas, but then it dawned on me that I could use a turkey baster. The first couple of screwdrivers that I used to remove the brass screw in the shaft did not work. What did work was to use a medium size (whatever that means!) screwdriver along with lying the snowblower on its side. There is a little hole in the shaft and I could actually see the screw turning. Problem solved. Well, not really because when I placed the snowblower upright again the brass shaft did not fall out. I gave up and put it all back together again. But I watched another video on this problem in which the guy who made the video said that it took him 30 minutes to get the brass shaft out. So I'm not the only one who struggled with this. Rather than just try harder, I put some gas in the tank along with some Techron that I happened to have lying around. The reasoning was that maybe the Techron would dissolve away the goop holding the brass cylinder in the shaft. After standing overnight, I repeated the whole process of removing the screw in the shaft. This time when I put the snowblower in the upright position the brass screw and the brass cylinder fell right out. I used a very fine sewing needle to clean the holes in the brass cylinder even though they didn't appear to be plugged up to the naked eye. After rinsing the cylinder with a little Techron, I put it all back together and it started on the first pull. Many thanks to you cdiilio.
Thanks a lot. Saved me from having to shovel. The fuel jet didn't come out, but I used a paper clip and got it out. Cleaned the screw and the jet and my snowblower runs great!
I thank you for posting this excellent quality video! My Storm 2665 ran fine last winter (used twice) but wouldn't start this year. The bowl looked and wiped clean. I had to remove the wheel to access the brass jet. I could see light through the holes in the jet, but cleaned them out anyway and sprayed everything with carb cleaner, including up into the shaft. Electric start got it going on first push of the button. Would draw user attention to orientation of the brass fuel jet...goes in exactly as you have shown when lying the parts out on the rag. I had a difficult time removing it, and failed to pay attention to the orientation when it came out...had to check the video again. Thanks again!
' Great video. You really helped me man! She's back up and running with 6"-8" on the way tomorrow! Love it!
Best video ever!nice job!
This works! Just got ny troy bilt blower going. Lot of snow in Bethlehem Pa.
Oh man, thank you so much! Have the very same snowblower and just got it to start after I followed your instructions. Awesome video, very easy to follow.
Awesome Video! Bought this snowblower last yr and got no snow. Stabilized the fuel in the tank but still managed to give me problems while I was trying to wake it up from storage to prep for winter. Sure enough the jet was clogged. Easy fix
Thank you! I think I have found the problem. I tried cleaning the carb bowl and idle jet but wasn't aware of this one. I'm getting fuel out of the drain now, but will only start with ether. I am going to try this procedure next and I bet it will run!
I tried almost everything was sbout to give up until i saw this video. Did what u said but used break cleaner snd it started right up. Thank you!!
THANK YOU! This is exactly what was needed to get mine running after 7 months in storage. This video was outstanding!
How long did it take? Like 30 minutes?
Thank you for this! I have the exact same snowblower and this weekend after a storm it wouldn’t pull start or electric start. Followed your directions and it started up on the first pull. So awesome, thanks again!
Just wanted to comment again, this absolutely works!!! Follow instructions closely. Make sure you put everything back together as he shows. I have a 2140, and had to remove a wheel in order to remove the jet (not enough room). Be very careful when removing the wheel, as there is a drive shaft with parts that can easily fall out (look up “high-pro key”). The key dropped out, and you can’t put it back in without removing the drive housing. It was simple enough when I was able to figure it out, but took a while. I lost this little key several times, but was thankfully able to recover it.
My point is, anyone can do this, but make sure you have the proper tools and don’t be careless like I was.
Amazing video, it assumes nothing and the detail even to how the pieces go back in is awesome. Got my Troy-Bilt running today with this video! Thanks!
Thank you for video sharing, and it fixed my problem. And now it is working and catch snow in time.😀😀
just wanted to say THANKS... saved me so much time troubleshooting and worked like a champ
Thank you so much for the info. I am usually not one to fix small engines (my husband usually tackles them) but since I was the one that left the gas in from last season I figured I should give it a shot. Your video saved me lots of money...thank you!
You just saved me a bunch of money! Thank you for making this video!
Thanks! I was able to get my snow blower started because of this vid. It would have been faster but I trusted the wrong hardware store “expert” when selecting my replacement spark plug.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!. Followed your vid and it cranked up. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. I used this last fall and again this evening. Very grateful. 🙏
Thanks! Just tried this on Christmas eve and it worked!
DUDE. Thank you. the part about the o ring is very helpful
Thank you I normally don’t comment on videos but my snowblower been down 2yrs and this just fixed it you got a new sub out of me once again thank you
Thank you so much Chris for posting this video. You saved me a lot of work money n time.
Thanks so much, it helped me start my craftsman snowblower which is similar to this. I tipped it on augur frame and it made it much easier to work on the brass ball and jet.
Thank you, you save me a lot of time, frustration and no doubt money!
Dude thank you so much. I knew it wasn't getting fuel and was pissed off figuring I had to take the carb off. Took bowl off and could see gummy residue. Took the needle out and could see 1 hole completely plugged. Ran a needle through them, put it back together and literally first pull it fired right up
pretty much same here. thank you for sharing this experience cdiilio. you explained it as simply as can be and i pretty much went through the same motions. i found that there was little gummy ball like sand grains or coucous. cleaned the bowl and unscrewed the brass screw and cleaned out the jet. felt lazy to go get the carburator cleaner and put everything back together. Oh yeah i had to remove the wheel in order to get a good position to catch all the fuel.
first pull and the engine fired. considering that i had spent probably two hours the days before doing all sorts of attempts to get it running, i felt really good hearing the engine roar.
thanks again.
@@laboflife4036 exactly same thing in the bottom of my bowl. This video was a life saver!
I had stabil in there but never again will I use it. This snowblower and my generator did the same exact thing with gumming up even with stabil. I'm trying out starton now
Thank you sir! Did all this and it runs great now. Saved the trip to the shop.
Thanks so much - got a foot of snow this weekend and being able to do this was huge - started on the first pull!
Great video. One additional tip, to make it easier to get the brass screw and jet out, it's best to tilt the blower onto it's front side (so the auger front is resting on the ground).
Im struggling with that currently...
Needle nose?
This saved me from taking the carburetor apart thank you.
Thank you so much!! I just watched this for the first time and did exactly what you said. It fired right up for me!!!
A really superior video. Concise, specific, and excellent step-by-step instructions.
Worked as described. Thank you!
