The key might not be in the ignition or is in the Stop position, so insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the On position. 2.

The fuel shutoff valve might not be open, so open the fuel shutoff valve. 4. The throttle might not be in the Fast position, so move the throttle to the Fast position. 5. The fuel tank might be empty or contain stale fuel, so drain and/or fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline (not more than 30 days old). 6.

Why is my Toro Snowthrower not clearing snow off the surface properly?
- H
  hfordSep 16, 2025
  If your Toro Snowthrower isn't clearing snow properly, it could be because: 1. The skids and/or scraper are not properly adjusted, so adjust the skids and/or the scraper. 2. The pressure in the tires is not equal, so check and adjust the pressure in one or both tires.

Why my Toro 38810 Snow Blower engine does not start?
- E
  Earl ChungAug 22, 2025
  To address the issue of your Toro Snow Blower not starting or starting with difficulty, verify the key is correctly inserted and in the On position. Ensure the choke is On and the primer is pressed 3 times. Check that the fuel shutoff valve is open and the throttle is in the Fast position. Also, ensure the fuel tank has fresh gasoline, the spark plug wire is connected, and the spark plug is in good condition with the correct gap. Finally, verify the fuel vent cap isn't restricted and the engine oil level is correct.
