Troy Bilt 2410 Storm Engine Surge and Gasket Fix
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Fix a surging snowblower engine and make a DIY gasket. If you cleaned the carburetor of your Troy Bilt engine and it still surges (revs up and down), do this to it.
I also used a gasket maker goo, though it's recommended not to use on parts that have contact with gasoline (do as I say, not as I do).
If you have a couple days to wait before the snow blows, carburetors are actually pretty cheap, and replacing them might be the best solution. Here is a complete replacement kit from Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/36iaNvP Look for one that fits your model.

Thanks for posting this! I have a 2016 Troy Bilt 2410. In terms of getting the cover off, my choke knob and throttle knob just had to be pried off. I hit them with a little WD-40 first because they were very tight and I thought I was going to crack on them. The hole on the jet is super small and I would have liked to drilled it out with the #60 drill that Bob Evoy mentioned but I didn't have anything that small, so I cleaned it with a wire bristle that I cut off of a stiff brush. No more surge and I'm very grateful because no one else mentioned this!
You're a genius! Same surging issue. Tried this out and sprayed down the inside of the carb with cleaner while it was open. Works great now.
Nice to see a video from a woman! I have same model I am trying to fix. I'm going to look at your other videos and hopefully you have more on this model. No one seems to have one of actually putting the dang cover back on. Thanks,
My Troy 2410 blower surges I’m going to try this
Marta, you are saving me from a major headache! Short and right on the money! Easy peasy! You are a Tech Angel! Thank you!
Pleased to help. That reminds me--it's time to clean the carburator before winter hits
Liked and subscribed. Thanks for your help!
I've watch a dozen of these, and yours is the most strait forward and easy to follow.
Thank u so much
This girls video is great. I've had to do this several times to mine since it sits for long periods of time, even with gas additives. I'm not embarrassed I have to watch this video every time. I have lots of small engines to maintain so I can't remember them all.
Very interesting. Thanks for the tip, queen. I was just in there today to clean some of the carb in 30 degree weather, and thankfully that got her running again, and she's a _little_ bit surgey, but running almost like new. I'll take a look at that jet if she gets bad again, or in the springtime before business ramps up. I know it's a homeowner model, but I was disappointed to see all of the plastic around the carb 🤷♂️
Do this over a clean swept floor so small parts don't fall on the floor and get lost.Especially the sleeves on the carb mounting screws.
Uh oh. I get the picture :) and I agree
Marta, exact same scenrio.... cleaned lower carb to get an almost new 2410 to run. But ran surging with some relief with half choking. Followed the cleaning of the Idle Jet assembly. And finally, just like magic it now runs great. Many thanks. Saved me a ton of consternation and $$ too.
Glad to help. I have to watch this video every year :(
Thanks for the fix, I just bought my 2410 at menards. Once I got it put together at home and started it for the first time I immediately noticed the surging of the engine. Your fix worked, saved me loading back up a 200lb snow blower to the bed of my truck, one thing I would add, the screw (d) shaped, was loose so when I did your fix I ran the screw back I snug, I was wrong because once started the rpms were very high, so I backed it off 2 turns, that did it rpms were normal..
Too bad you don't have the rest of this repair here, but thanks.
Excellent Video, great explanation, works as stated, I used a number 60 drill which is .040” in diameter, could not be happier with the outcome! Marta you are a treasure for the DYI folks out there! Thank you, Bob
Thanks after fighting this on and off for a week this solved my issue!
You have snow already?
@@Diypics No it's still in the 90s thanks 😀 it's the same carb on the Troy Bilt Flex power unit (discontinued concept machine). I picked a brand new unit with a snow blower attachment for nothing but it had been standing with gas in it for 2 years.
@@condor4679123 Aha. I just saw my snow blower with cobwebs on it today and thought it would be good to clean that carb now. Better than waiting for the snow to fly
Lol,I just fixed my 12yr old Craftsman thanks to your video,thanks
Thanks Marta for sharing this with everyone. I have a 2015 Storm 2410, where it would only run on choke or partial choke. I first cleaned the bottom parts of the carburetor because it was easy to access the bowl without removing anything else The issue turned out to be a clogged Idle Jet Assembly, as shown in this video. To fix I removed the carburetor, pulled out the clogged Idle Jet Assembly (black plastic piece on top), soaked it in carb cleaner, and then reamed it out with one metal bristle pulled out of a metal brush.
Thanks a ton! This fix did it for me as well. My TroyBilt Storm 2460 snowblower probably only had less than 10 hours on it for its first season last year and then it sat in the shed all spring/summer. Took it out today to make sure we were ready for winter. It started on the first pull. I thought all was well until I let it warm up and then the pulsing/surging began. Being that it was relatively new, I figured I'd shoot some carb cleaner in there and cross my fingers. Well, after many shoots, I didn't score. Until I found this post!
Well it didn't look clogged but I poked it and sprayed the jet and the hole in the carb and behold!!! Runs perfect. May thanks woman. Wish I could give you a thousand thumbs up. Doesn't look like you have snow there but we are having a blizzard and with my plow truck dead all I have is my snowblower and my lawn tractor with plow on my yard and 500 ft driveway. Thanks again.
Funny, I was responding to your original comment with that same answer. Mine didn't look clogged either. I wonder if it was just the act of pulling it out and reinserting that made it work. And you're welcome. From now on I'll use non-ethanol gas in it only.
500 yards! That little machine will be a blessing.
Oops. You wrote feet, not yards. Still long.
Yes, pulling out and reinserting works.....
Great video?
Thanks for the help on this I had tried everything on the other video's but none had mention this air inlet. Thanks again
Wow, just did this on a pressure washer and a Troy Built Flex unit I just picked up. Worked like a charm! Thank you!
Thanks for posting! Just cleaning the small orifice did the trick!
Thank goodness you made this ! I had a near new (2017) customer return Troy Bilt and nothing helped the surging engine till this fairly easy fix. I've even seen posts that the surging engine was normal if you'd opened the choke too far. Can't thank you enough. Why the heck isn't this in the Troy Bilt troubleshooting guide. Only lament is it doesn't throw snow much farther but at least I know this isn't the reason.
Hm, I should contact Troybilt. Thanks, and glad this helped.
Great video, you're the only one to describe cleaning the idle jet (the black one on the top of the carb). That was the one that I missed and that was the problem. Thank you!
So glad it was helpful!
So my 2410 is surging and it runs fine on choke but when I put it on run is starts to surge basically shaking tuning rough and I took apart the carburetor to clean but and put it back together but still surging. I didn’t remove this part tho, and from your video I couldn’t see clearly where it was. But once I find it and clean it I should get it fixed and running smoothly?
Thank you soooo much. I never knew this. Saved my day on Two Snowblowers! Have a great day
ps. Try organic Coconut oil on your hands :)
Worked like a charm....smart gal...thanks!
Great job on this vid.....I was chasing the same problem on a brand new machine at that. If cleaning the jet doesnt work which it didnt for me......use a micro drill bit to bore the jet out to the next size up. use common sense....I am saying a micro drill bit..they are tiny....put the drill bit in a vice then spin the jet on the drill bit until the bit pokes though the jet.....once it does...clean it and re install.....this really works!!!!
I had to clean the jet on mine also when I got it last year. Now it needs it again. I don't remember how I got at it now.
Hi Marta I have the same engine. Is it difficult to remove the black plug with the D shape in it? Thx eric.
I unscrewed it with my fingers. The other piece requires a flat screwdriver or plyers, but it should pop out easy.
@@Diypicshello, do I need to drain the gas first?
Drain the gas if it's old. Otherwise no need to drain it.
Holy shit. Thank you so much for posting this. I was ready to take a sledge hammer to my blower cuz it kept surging and I did this easy fix and it works perfect. I owe you a beer!!
Send it quick. I'm thirsty :)
@@Diypics 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Seriously thank you for posting!! Mine had the exact same issue! Runs perfect now!! :)
Did you change gasket too or just clean the black thing out
Thank you for the video it works very well thank you so much
Marta! I've been a good mechanic for over 40 years and even service my own aircraft and 2 Harleys. I have spent hours trying to fix the surging issue on my 2 year old top of the line Toro snowblower. Who knew there was a jet under the idle screw? MARTA, that's who! Problem solved. Thank you, Marta, and Happy new Year.
That's my engine, that's my carb. I've flushed the gas tank twice and cleaned the carb with spray cleaner and guitar string but it still surges. Going out to do this now. Thanks, I'll let you know. Odd there isn't a filter on that jet.
I think that plastic tube is the idle jet. If that doesn't work, buy yourself a Chinese made carb on Ebay, or Amazon. It is hard to clean an old carb very well if you don't have tools and small engines knowledge. Cleaning the jets is only half of the job. I tried all those cleanings and it didn't work. A new carb fixed it.
@@lanfan1464 Mine isn't an old carb, only one year old and cleaning that jet fixed it.
Did not work for my Troy-bilt 2620 (bought 8-9 years ago). I used 80drill bit, then 76 no improvement. I finally bought a brand new carburetor, replaced, and still have the same bad issue, very bad surging! - ?? Next step would be to clean / or replace fuel line going from fuel tank... (after that the next, and final step will be to get rid off that nasty blower)
Bummer. That has to be frustrating! I hope you report back on what eventually fixed it. Would hate to see you lose the blower altogether.
Marta do you have to pull the carb to get to that black plug
It's easier if you do but you don't have to pull it all the way out.
Having a hard time locating this thing.
I also had a difficult time - I am guessing once you remove the cover that shields the carb... you can see the part that needs to be removed to see the 2 plugs... look at min 1:40 ...she created a new seal for the part she had to remove to get to the other parts...I m going to let my gas run through with the cleaners and if it doesnt work, I'll try what she did and update this comment... hope it helps...
they sell a whole new carb on amazon for 12 bucks for this thing
Yes they do, but sometimes you can't wait two days :)
Much easier to just clean the carb. Don't be lazy.
