Raining, it is today and 14C, but my new-to-me Toro CCR 2000 snowblower, last winter (2015), started once, sputtered and quit. I changed the plug but it did not restart, so I had to resort to my trusty Canadian Tire snowblower, which I do maintain. The Toro needs a carb clean, which I will do today.
Briggs and Stratton lawnmower carb clean was pretty easy, but messy. The carb is easy to maintain.
Not is he, diligent at dumping his gas after last summer’s end, so it was no surprise when his lawnmower would not start this spring. As the grass was getting to the 1 foot mark, there was some urgency to get it going. Alas, no amount of pulling would start the mower. The carb must be cleaned.
Empty the lawn mower of all gas. Keep the gas in a proper container, as you’ll need it later. Remove the air cleaner cover and air cleaner, one bolt, Philips head.
