Mine has the old style i just cleaned it today and it was spotless.Acted like it was hung open..Plug cover in gas and spitn fuel out muffler..Just out of no where..Cleaned it best i could ..Then i pushed the trigger slider off in handle..Choke wouldnt lock out like it should..I missed a bolt hole on gasket.lol..It popped right off as always..Say i need to replace carb..Good how to video..❤
I have a 340 husky that is loose in the frame at the spring under the front of the saw. It belongs to my wife’s uncle. It’s like the bolt in the spring is broken or just not tightening up. Any clue what is causing this?TIA.
Informative video, but the camera work is terrible…. Can’t see a lot of the crucial instructions …. Either not I’m the frame at all or the picture bouncing everywhere…. Started giving me motion sickness after about 90 sec
If you could please get a tripod or camera mount and not your forehead! Many of the critical actions occur off camera and the vertigo problem is not imaginary!
Before a carb is changed, make sure the cheap fuel lines aren't cracked slightly, or in half. The cheap clear Fuel lines just don't last like old US made. They crack and cause a lot of issues you are troubleshooting, and it is only the fuel line causing your headache. Also, the 2 gaskets are different. Pay attention to which of the old goes where/compare shape and pattern to new. Mine began to run like crap. It turned out to be a crack in the fuel line sucking air/leaking fuel.
Thank you for this video. Has a small fuel leak and needed to open my 128 up to put the spark plug boot back in the wire and after new Amazon carb needed a little more fuel to run on the high side
I'm thinking when mine gets bad I may just replace with a sealed ball bearing instead of that bushing. I never could understand why MTD, Craftsman, Ariens, etc. and others use a ball bearing instead of that bushing that Toro uses?
Toro Snow blowers are junk had a mtd for 20 plus yrs never did anything to it get a toro and the things always broken can't never run and it is always broken when it snows the most and you need it.
i can tell by this comment you've never worked on or used a new mtd product they are made out of recycled dogfood cans. nothing made now of any brand can compete with things made 20+ years ago
@@Lifesrad8 snow blowers tend to have issues related to old gas like generators because they sit for long periods of time could this be part of the issue? or some toros come with chinese lct engines which are absolute trash, the old techumseh were a much better snow blower engine
@@Coakleyfixedit207 Ok, then I was wrong about around 5-6 these types of carbs that I fixed that way... That black plastic part has vents that mess up and if you put vent holes in the lid above diaphragm it literally does something ;) But hey, don't have to believe me, if you get a chance try it once..
@vjeko8690 it's a check valve inside the carb body that goes bad, the vents in the lif and black spacer are so the diaphragm can move freely, I'd more likely say the carbs you fixed just needed kits. But hey not throwing shade your way maybe I didn't explain the issue these carbs have deep enough
Sure you explained it but I have little experience and have difficulty understanding English. Why did you replace the carburetor? Thanks if you help me understand.
Very detailed video. I'm working on my dad's 359. Carburetor problems. Never worked on this particular model before and your video was very helpful. I've tuned and tuned the carb and it just won't do right. Can't get it to idle right and at time bogs on the top end no matter how I tune it. And yes, the arrestor screen is good. Anyway, I'm gonna take the carb apart and clean it. If that doesn't work then I'll just replace the carb. I'm sure the carb kit costs more than what I can get a new carb for. Good video though.
I did mine last night, was easier than I expected it to be thanks to this video. Based on my experience, I recommend replacing the brake pad at the same time as the bearing. There was so much slop in the old bearing that the pulley had chewed up the pad enough that the auger/impeller does not immediately stop now like it should.
There is no "exact" setting. Your elevation, air filter, fuel filter, fuel mix and climate all factor in what is the right "sweet spot" for your carb settings
I was hoping to find a video on how to replace the bushings on a 340. Your videos are helpful but I guess I’ll have to figure it out myself. That’s usually the best way. By far not the easiest, fastest way, but maybe the best?
Hey just got a second hand 345 it runs great but now i wanted to put the blade and chain on it and one of the two studs that hold the blade fell inside of the housing, pretty sure its not how its supposed to be is it easy to get it out again and fix?
@@Coakleyfixedit207 thanks for the quick reply I actually just fixed it came back to remove my question! I think it also fixed why it was leaking oil bought it guy said it was leaking oil and had no time to fix it
I'm not in the Amazon affiliate program though I should be, your local toro dealer or Amazon would work, if you go to a toro dealer ask for the 12-8789 auger bearing kit some places will try and sell you the pieces individually
