Once the plug is removed, check the electrodes to see if there is any buildup of soot or carbon. Without the bulb, air leaks in and it is very difficult to get fuel flowing into the engine. The primer bulb unit was missing the most important part. I pulled the line from the carb and drained the fuel into an approved container. Loosened the clamp that compresses the line onto the carb. Then, I followed the line from the fuel tank to where it enters the carburetor. To drain the fuel in a CCR3650, I removed the gas cap. And pulling that starter cord with bad fuel can add to the problems. If the machine hasn’t been started in a long time, the fuel can degrade and start to gum up the system. It may be the gas that is preventing it from starting. If there is fuel in the tank, I want to drain it before I try anything. Then I located the screws holding the main panel in place and removed them. I made sure the key is turned to the “Off” position and removed from the machine. Some of this maintenance requires the removal of the main panel and the panel that covers the rear of the snow blower. Because if I am changing the primer bulb, while the machine is open, I will perform some other maintenance as well. Could this be the only thing standing between an aching back from another winter of shoveling my driveway and the bliss of quick and easy snow removal? I’ll never know if this is the only item. The lever to engage the paddles moves the way it is supposed to. The crank handle turns the chute left and right without difficulty. All screws and bolts appear to be in place. As I said earlier, this thing looks like it is in pretty good shape. I learned several things just by looking at the Toro CCR 3650. If you are interested, check out my video that shows this from start to finish! It may give you a few more insights. The Toro also has the option for an electric start instead of relying on the pull cord. It has a 2-stroke engine, so it uses an oil and gas mixture. There is not one stage to grind the snow and a second stage to throw it. Basically, a paddle wheel scoops and throws the snow in one motion. So, it’s a tradeoff.Īnyway, the CCR 3650 is a single stage snow blower. I’m a little envious of that, but I like having a big yard and not having a homeowners’ association. This machine came to me when an old neighbor moved to a condo and no longer worries about clearing his driveway and sidewalks.
So, I’m going to do a few simple things and see if I can get it started. I think it just needs a little mechanical work/maintenance. This old Toro CCR 3650 snow blower hasn’t been started in five years. There is no additional cost to you and any purchases you make through an affiliate link helps to support The Project Cave.
