CCR 3650 Snow Thrower! Let's Get It Started For The First Time In Five Years!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 січ 2020
- This Toro CCR 3650 Snow Blower has been sitting in my neighbor's garage for five years. Hasn't been started in all that time. I'm hoping it needs only a little TLC to get it going. First thing to replace is the missing primer bulb. Then clean up a few things.
The neighbors moved to a condo so they no longer need to clear the sidewalks and driveways. So this two cycle machine was gifted to me. I think a few dollars in parts and a little maintenance will get her running again. Of course we probably won't have any snow if I get it running. But I'll be ready!

I did the same exact thing 60 years ago When I was 10 years old
Best single stage snow blower ever made. The new ones don’t compare to these old CCR units. Keep it maintained and it’ll last you a long time!
Hope so! Need to work on it a little more to get it better, but I’m happy I was able to start it. Thanks for the comment and sub!
Thanks for the great video on the CCR 3650. I have one that is fantastic but I need to show it some love over the summer. Your teardown showed me what I need to do!
Thank you sir!
Good job!! Glad to see back in service instead of at the landfill!!
Me too. Was even happier to see it handling this crazy storm that visited us for a couple of days. Thanks for watching!
@@TheProjectCave darn good snow blowers!! I don't know how the newer models are but if they are trending like everything else these days, I would say they aren't!!
Nice job! Great video!
I recommend greasing the track and gear that rotate the chute -- makes the chute turn much easier. I used water-resistant grease that I had for an automotive application. The primer bulb on mine cracked too -- I just replaced the rubber part. I'm pretty sure that it's the same part that my 2-stroke Lawn-Boy uses. I've had mine for 19 years.
Hey Kevin thanks for the video my best neighbor and friend moved away two and gave me the same snowblower I didn’t have to fix it but I know how to use it now and I had no clue how to start it … but thanks to your video helped once again …..thank Kevin …..a new subscription Anthony
Antonio! Thank you for that comment and subscription! It means a lot to me when I hear that one of my videos helped someone! Good luck with the snowblower this winter!
NICE JOB
Thanks!
Nice work brother! keep up the videos! Production value is great. Dig the content to.
Thanks Mike! I appreciate that!
Thank you, now i know the route to approach it.
Probably should clean the carb as well. I skipped that. Good luck getting it started.
@@TheProjectCave done n done, got it running. Thank you
Awesome! Fantastic! Glad it is running! And thank you for letting me know how it went!
@@TheProjectCave thank you so much once again. Now we have no snow but, its ready.
I don't understand why you wouldn't clean the carb while you had it all the way open like that? Did you inspect it and it looked good?
Nice Toro you have, wish I had one like that.. What time aren't you home so I will know when not to stop by ???
Nice video, no reason to take off all that scaffolding though, cover comes off fine with all the handle bars on and it gives you leverage when working on the carb (put it on its face)
Sounds like a good tip. Thank you. I don’t know why, but I was having trouble removing that cover.
Not to mention, those three bolts that secure the chute that you cut off, looked in great shape. They usually come right off.
Scaffolding?? Lol
This video has very high production value, and is very well made so I hate to knock it... However...
You went about everything the hardest way possible. You could have easily drained the tank, replaced the fuel line, installed a new primer by taking out the two bolts holding the bottom cover on lol
This unit was designed for easy maintenance access through the bottom cover. Instead, you removed the handle, crank, crank mount and chute... In fact, you could have removed the chute crank by just pulling on it, as it was also designed to be easily removed.
Your video quality is great, but some extra research before getting started would have saved you a ton of effort.
Constructive criticism appreciated! I did learn some of what you said along the way and now I have a few more tips. Thank you. And thank you for watching!
@@TheProjectCave You did a good job bringing it back to life. Make sure to use some fuel stabiliser when storing it or drain the fuel prior to storage. These are nice machines that are well built and throw snow reasonably far, take care of it and it'll live a long life :)
Lastly, that bad sound you heard when running the electric start is likely the bronze gear at the end of the starter not engaging with the flywheel properly. Over time the gear wears out, typically its because their blower struggles to start and they keep the starter button pressed. You can buy a replacement gear online or from your local briggs and stratton dealer.
I’m trying to find the same gas cap. How can I find it? I got the same snowblower.
I have the same snow blower. Have to try to tackle this tomorrow as this Thursday they forecast snow for us. My primer bulb dried out in my shed from storage so hope I don’t mess up, lol.
Do u think I should try to start it up w out using the priming bulb worst case?
Replacing the bulb was pretty easy. Just be prepare to replace the hoses if they are very dried out. Also, if you have to cut one of them (like I did), make sure you will have enough length to attach the new bulb.
As for starting it without the primer bulb, I believe there is a trick to it but I don’t know it. Search for it and let me know! I got mine started last year and I wound up not needing it. But it was fun to get something working again.
Now, to get the mixture right and clear up that smoke another commenter mentioned. Hope it was just because I used the premixed stuff.
@@TheProjectCave
Thank you so much for your response. I’m going to pull it out of the shed after breakfast and start cleaning it down and inspecting. I think my hoses should be ok as they were all changed 4 years ago and lubed. I also silicones sprayed the whole unit prior and a little after our last snow storm 2 yrs ago and no snow stuck to the unit. In fact the snow flew off the shoot, lol. Didn’t use it last yr because we didn’t get snow.
I did look into that trick on getting it to start without replacing. Saw some great videos on here that suggest a syringe or bulb syringe 💉 if you will. I plan on trying that.
As for the mixture I’m horrible at that so I just buy the premix at Home Depot. Just picked up 3 bottles and stabilizer also
My primer bulb was totally hard, dry, and crumbled. I replaced it today (hardest part was fitting it on the white ring). Snow blower sat 2 years and after I fixed the primer bulb and new gas/oil it fired right up!
@@hhova29 Really easy to replace the bulb and base, just did it today on my 3650. Pull the back cover - 2 screws. You can access the bulb base lock tabs after removing the back cover. If you are replacing the base just cut the locking tabs off. Ten minutes max.
what do ya do if you dont have a key ??
How do you replace the oil in this unit? , I can't seem to find a fill hole or a drain plug, or is this a sealed unit ?
There isn’t one. It’s a two stroke engine. Gas oil mix, so no oil pan.
@@TheProjectCave thank you.
Got a question. Why does my leak oil ? Someone said a screw on bottom of oil pan gets loose. I’m a older woman trying to get this blower going. It worked for my daughter las year but leaked oil made a mess. So no mixing gas with this blower.? My husband passed suddenly a couple of years ago. I didn’t get instructions to all the equipment.
Mine is a 50:1 gas to oil mix. Not sure why it is leaking. Here is a link to the manual: www.toro.com/getpub/25823
It may just need some simple maintenance to stop the leak. But if you have the ccr3650, it is the gas oil mix leaking.
I change those two parts for 5 minutes and you don't have to take nothing of those parts when you doing that to snowblower.
I figured that out after I started the work. Was having a little trouble initially getting some of it apart. Happy to hear that it comes apart easier. Will save me some time in the future.
Do all toro ccr 3650 have fuel filters
I would say they probably do. As I recall, it is just a small part right in line with the fuel line. I suppose someone could have bypassed it by not putting a new filter in when they changed the fuel line. They are often included in maintenance kits with new carbs and fuel bulbs.
You should have shown that how to start it. Lol
No motor oil change?
It’s a two stroke engine. Gas oil mix.
@@TheProjectCave tnx。I got it now
Your fuel to oil ratio mix seems to be off. it's smoking like a chimney.
2.6oz of 2 stroke oil for 1gal of gas. Or 1/3 cup.
It could be. I used a premixed 50:1, which the owner’s manual called for. I’m going to try replacing the plug and see if that helps. After that, adjust the module that creates the spark (and replace if necessary). I also wanted to see if I could get it started before I put more than a few dollars for gas in it. I’m open to other suggestions. Thank you for the comment. It will help me improve the run quality of the snow blower.
Thanks for the tip! It is appreciated!
@@TheProjectCave Yep no prob. I have a CCR 2450, Same engine as the 3650. Swapped out the plastic carb with a metal one, primer bulb and spark plug. runs like a top. Could prob use a new belt eventually. Funny thing is it sat in my girlfriends shed for 5 years.
Toro sells these 2.6 oz bottles of synthetic 2 cycle oil. Pump one gallon of ethenol free gas, dump the bottle in the gas, shake and all done
"Everything is lubed up and ready to go", is what she said.
Cut out the music and talk to us.
I don’t really care for your music you can take them cut
