How to fix MTD Yard Machines 650 Blower engine that fails to start?

  Scott OneillAug 12, 2025
  If your MTD Blower's engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Next, check the fuel tank; it may be empty or contain stale fuel—refill it with clean, fresh gasoline. If your model has a throttle control lever, make sure it's in the correct starting position. A blocked fuel line could also be the culprit, so try cleaning it. Inspect the spark plug for faults and clean, adjust the gap, or replace it if necessary. Lastly, if the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before attempting to restart it, and avoid priming it this time.

  If your MTD Blower engine runs erratically, start by checking the spark plug wire to ensure it's connected and tightened properly. A blocked fuel line or stale fuel could also be the issue; clean the fuel line and refill the tank with fresh gasoline. Make sure the vent in the gas cap isn't plugged—clear it if necessary. Additionally, check for water or dirt in the fuel system by draining the fuel tank and refilling it with fresh fuel. If the air cleaner is dirty, replace it. If none of these steps resolve the issue, the carburetor might be out of adjustment, and you should consult an authorized service dealer.

  If your MTD Blower idles poorly, several issues could be the cause. Start by inspecting the spark plug—it may be fouled, faulty, or have a gap that's too wide. Reset the gap to .030” or replace the spark plug. Also, a dirty air cleaner can contribute to poor idling, so replace it if necessary. If these steps don't resolve the problem, the carburetor might be improperly adjusted, and you should consult an authorized service dealer.

  If your MTD Blower engine overheats, the first thing to check is the engine oil level. Make sure to fill the crankcase with the proper oil. A dirty air cleaner can also cause overheating, so replace it if necessary. Lastly, check for any restrictions in air flow. If airflow is restricted, remove the blower housing and clean it.
