Unscrew the nut on the bottom of the carburetor and remove the float bowl it must be emptied and cleaned , debree and water gets into the bowl and blocks of fuel flow reinstall the bowl and start, some carbs don't have a float bowl requiring you to remove the gas tank and carb which is a more involved cleaning.

I have a Troy-Built Chipper/Vac Model 47279 (5HP) that has not been run in a while. I have drained the fuel and added new but it will not start. The old fuel did not have any fuel additive prior to storage...

i have the same Chipper, vac. Have you checked for spark? You may want to clean the fly wheel. I use emery cloth to clean the area at the magneto, If there is no spark, Also you may have to clean the carb. I have been looking for a manual for this model with no luck. Hope this helps!

I need a parts and owners manuel for a Super Tomahak Wood chipper made by Garden Way Mfg. Co. where do I go to get one?

Hi and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly.

Go to this site:

http://www.brentchalmers.com/

I note your looking for the Super Tomahawk. If you can come up with a model number I think I can find your parts manual for sure. (or at least an on-line parts list.) Also.... If you can come up with an engine number like OH120 or L90 off of the engine I can find you a manual for the engine also.

This is the list of Manuals available there:

  • 1983 W-W Grinder Inc. Manual and Parts List Super Tomahawk 5-8-2G/C and Tomahawk 5-8-2G/M Chipper/Shredder (40 Pages)
  • 1989 Troy-Bilt Owner/Operator Manual Junior Tomahawk Chipper/Shredder (24 Pages)

  • 1994 Troy-Bilt PTO Chipper/Shredder Owners Dog Clutch Kit 1902404 (1 Page)


  • Hopefully your model is one of the above.

    Here is link to the Parts manuals:

    http://www.partsandservice.com/html/TroyBilt/cs/

    There are 90 parts manuals there.

    Again with a good model and engine number I can probably come up with your exact manuals.

    Thanks for chosing FixYa,

    Kelly

    Troy-Bilt Chipper Shredder won't start

    It takes good gas, good spark, and good air for a gasoline engine to run well. The next thing I would do is put a new air filter in it.
