ENGINE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
5.
The upper shroud/fuel tank is retained by one
screw in each corner. On electric start models
only, remove the three screws surrounding the
starter button (Figure 52). These screws hold the
switch box to the upper shroud. Unless they are
removed the wire harness between the switch box
and the starter motor will prevent complete shroud
removal (Figure 49). Once they are removed the
upper shroud and tank can be lifted enough to
remove the primer line, unplug the wiring from the
switch and the fuel line from the fitting on the
bottom of the tank. Note: There might be a small
amount of fuel in the fuel line. Be prepared with a
shop towel to catch any remaining fuel.

Depending on what work is to be done, the shroud
could hang from the starter rope. If the engine is
to be removed, tie a knot in the starter rope
between the recoil starter and the shroud. The
knot in the starter handle can now be untied and
the rope pulled through the shroud.

The engine can now be moved to the right until
the 4 mounting studs clear the side plate and the
engine can be lifted out. (Caution: The choke
arm protrudes through a slot in the lower shroud,
do not damage it when lifting the engine out of the
chassis.) (Figure 51). You may prefer to remove
the lower shroud as there are only two screws
holding it on. Note: There is a second engine
plate on the inside of the side plate, this may fall
off when the engine is lifted out of the chassis.

The recoil side of the engine is supported by a
bracket. Remove the bracket or remove the
locknut holding the bracket to the recoil (it may be
necessary to loosen the bracket to disengage it
from the stud on the recoil) (Figure 50). Remove
the 4 nuts around the crankshaft and slide the
plate off the crankshaft.

Single Stage Snowthrower Service Manual
(3 votes, average: 4.67 out of 5)
Lawn and Garden readers have rated Toro Single Stage Snow Blower Service Manual 4.7 out of 5.0 based on 3 product reviews. EXCELLENT . Hard to find manual and very detailed . Only downside is the pics and wording in pics are backwards , but I can deal with that
The manual provides detailed step-by-step instructions for engine removal and installation but there is nothing in it about repair of the recoil starter. The engine removal instructions will be helpful because the starter is buried behind the fuel tank and engine support bracket. I think my problem is a sticking starter dog but getting to it will be a major project.
