Going out on a limb to guess: the original one is bad and so is the replacement.

I picked up a free CCR 2000 about 5 years ago and the owner said it ran great until it didn't and it too sat for a couple years before h decided to get rid of it. I usually buy cheapo $20 carbs from amazingzon for lawn mowers, snow blowers as a first course (I hate rebuilding carbs) and all have performed fine except for this CCR 2000.

I installed in late spring of the year that I acquired it and it ran, but not right and it leaked gasoline. First time ever had an issue...
..but returned it within the 30 days for a replacement and that new one has been on ever since. It started second pull when I tried it about 3 weeks ago in preparation for this winter.

I am not saying this is your issue, just sharing my experience.

 

Maybe I'll buy another cheapo carb and give it another try. I realize that some parts can be defective. I have a motorhome and had issues with the furnace. Bought a new board but the problem persisted. After joining a group someone suggested the first board might be defective. I bought another and problem solved. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

ALOHA!!

 

Is this the recoil start CCR2000 or the electric start CCR2000?


1. buy the original replacement carburator PLEASE.

2. buy the correct spark plug gapped to the correct gap which is the NGKBPMR4A

3. the micro screen in the base of the tank has dirt in it.
You need to remove the tank and used compressed air to
blow the dirt out of the screen and pour some alcohol in the
tank to break up any gum deposits in the tank.

 

Recoil. I cleaned up the old carb after watching a YouTube video on how to do it. Cleaned the jets, and used carb cleaner to make sure everything was blown out and clean. Removed the float and cleaned it up. But, when putting the float back together, I dropped the needle down into the snow blower. I'm 71 and have some arthritis in my hands. I've tried to find it, even turning the snow blower upside down and giving it a good shake. Nothing fell out. So, unless I can find a new needle for the original carb, I'm stuck with the Chinese carb.

If anyone knows where I can buy a new needle, let me know.

I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions. I realize that some of my questions have been answered before, but trying to search for previous posts relating to the issues I am dealing with, has been frustrating. Trust me, I have watched a lot of YouTube videos before I finally found this group. I've already learned a lot from you guys.

I hope to get this thing up and running before I have major back surgery in about 3 weeks. I'll be down for 3 months and my wife will have to do the snow blowing.

 

Is there a service manual online for the CCR2000?

 

This appears to cover it https://www.toro.com/getpub/6936

 

I have a Toro CCR2000 that sat for a lot of years. I couldn't get it to run and after watching some YouTube videos, i thought it would be the carb. Instead of rebuilding the old carb, I bought a new one. After I installed it, the thing started and ran, but as soon as I engaged the paddles, it started pulsing. I thought that maybe it was the spark plug. The old plug was very fouled so I installed a new one. I installed the new spark plug, and it wouldn't start at all. That's all I did. Not being sure of what was causing the issue, I decided to rebuild the original carb. Cleaned it up, installed the rebuilt carb and it still wouldn't start. I removed the bowl and it was full of gas. It appears to be flooding, but for the life of me I can't figure out why. I removed the rebuilt carb, and re-installed the new carb. Nothing helps, it just won't start again. But, I'm getting real good at removing and installing carbs. The new carb came with 3 gaskets. I put one under the spacer, one on top of the spacer, and one on top of the carb. I can't think or anything else that is preventing this blower from starting. Hope someone can help or it goes in the trash. I'm tired of working on it.

Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

 

The easiest thing to do is use quick start to confirm if it’s a fuel problem or not. Recheck your plug wire

 

Try this, I had a 2000ccr for over 30 years and every year it would start when warm but on the 1st cold day when it snowed for the 1st. time of the season it just would not start no matter how many pulls on the cord, cranked the electric start, nothing just refused to start. One day I sprayed a little carb spray in the carb opening when it was cold and that little sucker fired right off, WOW! After that for the rest of the season it always started. Never did figure out why, but for 20 years It worked for me every season.

 

Look again at your sparkplug. Is the gap correct? I once had a person put in the wrong plug. The threads were a little long and the gap on the plug closed tight when screwed in. Result, a new plug but no start.

 

I think my snowblower has give up the ghost. I rebuilt the original carb and installed it yesterday. Sprayed some starting fluid into the carb and it still wouldn't start. I didn't notice, but my daughter asked me what all this oil was on the concrete. It had sprayed oil from the muffler. It seems that there is more wrong with it, than I can fix. See the photos. I think I'll take the original carb and see if I can recoup some of what I've put into it. For the rest I'll take it to the thrift store and let them sell it to someone who thinks they can fix it.

FYI: I had moved the snow blower back before I took the photo of the oil on the concrete.

Thanks for all of the information and help you guys have provided. Much appreciated.

 

What does this indicate? Can it be salvaged?

Thanks

 

Can it be salvaged?

Anything can be salvaged, it depends on how much time and money one wants to spend.
Your post above seemed to indicate you will throw in the towel and donate it. Are you still on the fence?

In my opinion I don't think it would be worth my time. Before I picked up my CCR I had a nondescript 2-cycle that did not want to start. I gave it away and I saw that the person got it running and eventually sold it on CL. The CCR came along for free and I got it running for use on my decks. It is a great machine, but I am cheap and had it not come along there were other single stages that would show up on the CL's.

What are your goals? Do you like to tinker and fix things, then go for it. Maybe disassemble and disect and perhaps along the way you will determine a sh!t- or- get- off- the- pot moment and find out it is not worth it any more.
Do you need a blower soon for the upcoming winter... then you might want to get something else and put this one aside if you are still on the fence about it.

 

On a 2 cycle, oil out the muffler typically indicates massive flooding and that the crankcase has loaded up.

Try starting wide open with no choke to clear it.

 

I'll give it a try, but outside this time. Hopefully it will clear it.

Thanks
