Toro CCR 2500 Snowblower Problem

[Hillbiehle]

I am working on a Toro CCR2500 single stage snowblower and it will not fire. The electric starter no longer works so I am manually pulling the rope. There is fresh gas, I am getting spark, however it will simply not turnover. Even if I spray starting fluid, it is not firing even though I have spark and gap is within specs. In addition, carbs have been cleaned etc… Does anyone have an idea of what the issue may be? Thank you.

Similar problem a few weeks ago, it is still sitting. I will be watching this.

Do you have the key in the on position when trying to pull start?

[Hillbiehle]

Yes, key is in the on position and getting spark when I pull the cord.

I had the same situation with a chain saw last Fall. If you clean and dry the plug, then pull the engine over with the choke closed, does the plug get wet? That will tell you if you are getting fuel through to the spark plug.

If the plug is wet with gas after a few pulls, the spark is not igniting the fuel. First, replace the plug and see if that cures the problem. If not, you may have a damaged high tension wire or a weak coil that will not fire the plug under compression.

That happened on my chain saw. I had a clean carb, new fuel in the tank, moderate spark when testing the plug, but it never fired once. The plug was wet with fuel, I tried starting fluid, and nothing. I replaced the coil and wire and it fired off on the second pull.

Is it two stroke? I had an old chain saw that wouldn't start and the repair shop finally figured out that it was shot. The cylinder/rings were so worn that the unit could not build up enough compression to fire. I had been using synthetic oil and it was a no go. They used standard 2 cycle oil and it fired right up, but wouldn't go again when I put in the fuel I had.

Compression is most likely the culprit, but you could have a sheared flywheel key as well, and the spark isn't hitting at the right time. There could be other factors as well, but the three things that an engine needs primarily are fuel, ignition, and compression.

Remove the muffler and then you can see the piston and rings, chances are the piston is scored and the age of that unit makes it junk.

Is your model equipped with a fuel shut off T-valve? Mine is, and it sounds like your not getting fuel.

Thank you for all the replies. I'm hoping to find a solution. This snowblower looks practically brand new and not long ago started on first pull which leads me to believe that is has very low hours. I will double check everything based on the suggestions and hope to report the culprit. Thanks again.
