Snowblower won’t start Troybilt 2410 

Just pull the knob off? Or do I have to remove a cover?

Doesn’t work at all for me. I mean, it fires up for a second but as soon as the spray of stuff burns, engine dies.

@@prinefan5. Yeah, pull that red knob straight up to gain access to the tube, just push it back on after it starts and turn choke down.

Thanks, I did that sprayed some ether in there but it would only run for a few seconds. Cleaned the carb, seamfoamed the tank, new gas and the whole 9, but still no luck. Replacing the spark plug today, hopefully thatll fix it.

@@downsoutdoors5150 Did the spark plug fix it?

@@daterxies nope it needed a new carb

Thanks for the socket size. I went out and got one removed the spark plug, was black and not sparking, cleaned until it worked again. Air blew into the carb to remove carbon dust, sprayed some starter and Praise G-d, it came to life.

I tried that first and must not have had the right place. Long term solution is the 92 octane non ethanol fuel and stabil in the summer. My Blower has started first time everytime since my first post on this a couple years ago

Ok I have an update...I posted this over two years ago and NOW my blower starts FIRST PULL even after it's been in storage for the summer. TWO THINGS: 1) Use 90+ octane ETHANOL FREE fuel...complete GAME CHANGER! 2) I do put some STABIL fuel stabilizer in at the end of the season. The 90+ Octane fuel is sold by the gallon and costs $22-$25 per gallon BUT IT'S WORTH IT! Bonus- One other trick- I turned the choke knob about 3/4 instead of all the way...seems to help a little too

@@misterenergy959 🐐🐐🐐thanks broooo

Hi Jeff - Love your channel!

@@misterenergy959 Thank you Mike. Hope you're investing?

Clean the carb or if old gas was left, drain it and try again.

Yup- Use 92-94 Octane ETHANOL FREE fuel.....it works great!

@@mattgantz2576 I ended up draining some of the old gas out of the bowl and it must have cleared the bad gas because I got it started in a few pulls after that Thanks

Karen- The second BIG "AHAH" moment was the fuel. Regular fuel only holds up for about 2-3 months. Some maintenance and lawncare people told me to use ETHANOL free 92-94 octane fuel. It's expensive($20-$23/ gallon ) but I have not had one problem starting my snow blower in the last 2 years. The first two years I really had a hard time starting it until I learned about the right fuel.

Well Troy-bilt is part of the big MTD conglomerate so same engines across many brands. So Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Remington, yard machines etc are all share components. I was looking at some Craftsman blowers the other day and they had the same MTD engine in it.

@@misterenergy959 This is good advice. Once I have it running for a season, I try to use ethanol free gas from the pump (sometimes hard to find). End of season I run it dry, then refill some from that expensive canned gas from Lowes/HD etc and run for a few minutes before storing away. End up pouring the rest of that pump gas into a car tank and refilling before the next season so it is fresh.

Yes...great additional advice!@@jz1vqp
