- Join us in this video as we work on a Toro S200 snowblower that has been sitting idle for a few years. With mild winters in our area, many snow blowers have been neglected. In this episode, we dive into the fuel system, starting with the gas tank, which appears to have evaporated fuel. Watch as we inspect and clean the tank, replace the short fuel line, and assess the carburetor's condition. Along the way, we share tips on preventing fuel-related issues and offer insights into maintaining these machines. Join us for a satisfying start-up and see how we bring this snowblower back to life. Don't forget to subscribe and hit the bell icon for more upcoming videos as we delve into more complex repairs and maintenance tasks. Thanks for watching, and let's get started!
Simple Toro S-200 Snow Blower Gas Tank Clean Out and Start-Up - S-620 #baldeagle242 I'll show you how to clean out the gas tank and start up a Toro S-200 or S-620 Snow Blower.
I believe these were made from 1979 till 1984. In this video, I clean out the old fuel and get it running with new fuel.

I know this is an old video but I want to thank you for it's simplicity. Very well done. I just picked up the same Toro model at a yard sale for $10.00. Your video is perfect. Thanks again
Glad it helped, I hope you subscribe and check out other videos. 😁😎
My Grandpa's has been sitting in the basement unused for about the past 25 years. Luckily no gas in it. I'm going to get some and see if it will run.
TreasureHuntingSWPA - They’re good little blowers. We don’t get much snow here in southern Ohio so they’re nice to have for small areas. Good luck getting it running. 👍
Bald eagle you da man!!!! Can't wait to get mine going. I just picked one up for 35 bills
Love me some toro two stroke powa
I ended up using this gas tank on a vintage style go kart, it was small enough to mount above the carb and not obnoxious
That’s a great idea! Perfect size for that. 😁👍
I picked one of these up off the side of the road today. Didn't have to do anything and it runs. It's in rough shape though. Starting your engine up in the summer wont do any good unless you stabilize the fuel.
I swapped out my snowblower to one of the Chinese Yanmar diesel clones so I'd never have to mess with old gas in it. The diesel engine swap worked absolutely fantastic. It does take 8 or 9 cranks to start in the cold weather but you can add electric start to these or just hit the cylinder with a propane torch for 30 seconds to make it start quickly. Has way more power, efficiency, and still have all the electric grip warmers, etc.
That's awesome! I've used the propane trick on my old 7.3 in the past when I forget to plug in the block heater. So far ive been lucky and not blown the intake off of it. 😁👍
Wow this was a great video. I have the exact Toro I took from my parents garage. So helpful and detailed.
Thank you so much!!!
You’re welcome! I’m going to post a new video later today on seasonal mower maintenance. It will go into much more details than I do in this video. If your not already a subscriber consider joining my channel. I’ll be posting a lot more videos on a regular basis going forward.
It’s a classic from 1979 or 1980.
It runs and runs like it was made fro the military..
Yep, this is my mother's snowblower. We just fueled it up last weekend and made sure it's ready to go again this winter. 😁👍
Thanks for watching. 🦅🇺🇸
It's a 2 stroke... they smoke. If your that worried. They sell fancy oil. Will smell like peaches(: 2 stroke nice. Shame they regulated yet another good thing
I'm having issues with my same thrower not firing, I replaced the spark plug, fresh gas and oil mix, and started fluid as well. What else do you think I should do? I am very new at repairing stuff like this stuff.
Is it getting spark? Did it fire with starting fluid?
@@baldeagle242 no it did not on either
@@Proskaters6 id check your kill switch and kill wire for any damage. You already replaced the plug so after that i’d check the air gap on the coil. Lastly if that all checks out is replace the coil.
sound's great hey i nowhere you got it video was great
I have one of these S-200 Snow Throwers, but can't get it started. I cleaned the carb and installed a new diaphragm, etc. When I tested the compression it was around 80 psi, not sure if that is a bit low.
Should run with anything over 60psi. Will it fire on starting fluid?
@@baldeagle242 I believe I tried starting fluid, and wouldn't fire. I also have a slightly newer model that I bought in 88, same issue. I can't find any aftermarket carbs for them, they both have the same flat Toro made carbs.
@@Pyridox if you have 80psi on compression and it won't fire on starting fluid I would confirm your kill switch is working properly and you're getting spark.
@@baldeagle242 Ok, thanks for the info. Now that the weather is better I can work on it.
@@Pyridox You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Subscribed! 👍🏾
Thank you. I appreciate your support. 😁👍
What’s the gas to oil ratio?
It’s 32:1 on the S-200
I use Truefuel 50:1 mix and no smoke!
+Larry Guth 👍
+Larry Guth it's a little on the expensive side but it's good stuff. Thanks for watching. 🦅🇺🇸

My opinion Ethanol Gasoline is horrible for small engines, Almost impossible to find gas without ethanol i started running my mowers with the highest octane i can purchase not sure if this helps or not, for my leaf blower I purchase the premixed cans because it has no ethanol and a can of fuel will last 2 seasons, my snow blower i run the carb out of fuel and drain the tank in the summer just trying to give the carb the best chance of surviving, I could be completely wrong But it works good so far
+Vincent's helpful hints, Always best to run the carb dry when storing equipment. 👍
Thanks for watching. 🦅
How come no spark plug change
The spark plug wasn’t needed. It’s very rare that the spark plug needs to be changed.
Are th are there any batteries
No batteries. The ones with electric start plug into a 120 volt outlet.
Toro a 200 parts
For one of your first videos your production quality was superb! Great audio, video and narration. I learned something as well! Now I’ll have to go check out one of your newer ones. 👍🔧🧰
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching. 🦅🇺🇸
Baldeagle242 You bet! Now stay away from ladders, k? 😉
@@Rein_Ciarfella no doubt about that. I won't press my luck doing that again. 😁
