Why won't my Toro 38172 Snow Blower engine start?
- A
  Angela SmithAug 10, 2025
  If the Toro Snow Blower engine doesn't start or starts with difficulty, make sure the key is inserted into the ignition and turned to the On position. Check that the choke is in the On position and the primer has been pressed two times. Also, the fuel tank may be empty or contain stale fuel; in this case, drain the tank and refill it with a fresh gasoline-and-oil mixture (not more than 30 days old). If the engine is flooded, move the choke to the Off position and pull the rope several times. Ensure the spark-plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug and inspect the spark plug itself, adjusting the gap if needed or replacing it if pitted, fouled, or cracked. Finally, check for any restrictions in the fuel cap vent.

  If your Toro Snow Blower engine runs rough, first ensure that the choke is in the Off position. If the fuel system contains stale fuel, drain the fuel tank and refill it with a fresh gasoline-and-oil mixture (not more than 30 days old). Also, check that the spark-plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Inspect the spark plug and adjust the gap if necessary, or replace it if it is pitted, fouled, or cracked.

What to do if my Toro 38172 isn't throwing snow?
- A
  April WatsonAug 19, 2025
  If your Toro Snow Blower runs but doesn't discharge snow well, try adjusting your walking speed and reduce the amount of snow you're trying to remove per swath, especially if the snow is heavy or wet. If the discharge chute is plugged, stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and use a stick to carefully remove the blockage. For models with a clutch, ensure the control cable is properly adjusted or replace it if broken. Inspect the drive belt for looseness or damage, and install or replace it as needed. Replace worn rotor blades and the scraper.

How to make my Toro 38172 Snow Blower clear snow better?

  Jennifer WallaceAug 26, 2025
  To improve snow clearing with your Toro Snow Blower, throw the snow off the surface before it becomes compacted. Lift up on the handle to hold down the front of the snowthrower. Replace the scraper if it's excessively worn and replace the rotor blades and the scraper if the rotor blades are excessively worn.

  If the electric starter on your Toro Snow Blower (electric-start models only) isn't turning, check that the power cord is securely connected to both the outlet and the snowthrower. If the power cord is worn, corroded, or damaged, replace it. Ensure the power outlet is energized; if not, have a qualified electrician energize it.
