Troy-Bilt Storm 2410 Chinese engine and Yard Machines walk-behind with same Chinese engine.
It will not start. I did what the manual told me to do: drain gas during storage and use fresh fuel the next season. Troy-Bilt insisted that the engine problems are my fault so they wont' do warranty work. They didn't ask questions and made the assumption I used ethanol fuel (Idiots at Troy-Bilt put a sign on the gas cap stating it is OK to use E-10). I have proof that the Mobil gas station I go to does not accept fuel with ethanol in it. I had to pay $40 for a new carburetor. Troy-Bilt is a junk company. Consumer Reports magazine named them the most problematic.
Same problem with my one-year-old Yard Machines mower with a Chinese engine. I drained the fuel during storage and put in fresh gas when it was time to start. Engine ran very poorly and eventually did not start. They refused to fix the problem stating that it was my fault for negligence.
Troy-Bilt and Yard Machines warranty is a scam.
No Chinese engines anymore and no more MTD products. Now I'm hearing Chinese-made Briggs & Stratton engines and Kohler engines are junk, too.
Remember when America used to make very reliable small engines regardless of the quality of fuel and when you never did any maintenance??!?! I miss those days! All of you on here who bought a newer MTD product have been scammed.
