TORO CCR 2000 SNOWBLOWER SERIAL NUMBER

I checked the ig modulator with a multi meter and got continuity (which I am assuming is a good thing). I checked and cleaned all connections and re assembled with dielectric tune up grease.

TORO CCR 2000 SNOWBLOWER SERIAL NUMBER

It is the 38185 with serial number 2001010. A friend gave me his Toro CCR 2000 snowblower for repair because the local shop wanted 600+ for repairs. I am about 99.9% successful with my repairs but this one has stumped me. I have become the lawnmower/snowblower repair guy for the guys at work. If anyone is still out here with some ideas, I sure could use your input! Now I can be sure there will be no more snow this year. Now my snowthrower is running like a new one. I also cleaned the carburator (kind of needed it after 20 years). ) Later CCR2000 had the ignition module built into the coil so you need to check which version you have before you try this solution. (The Toro dealer wanted $140 special order, no returns for the Xstar module so even if I have to replace the Megafire every year or two, I'd rather do that considering the age of my unit. For $20 shipped, I was willing to take a chance. This solution may work on other CCR2000s with no or weak spark. You have access if you need to replace it and also the Xstar module was mounted in a hard to get to spot. I was going to mount mine where the old Xstar module was mounted but decided that miller87's approach was a lot better. I bought another Megafire module and mounted it like miller87 described. I hooked up the old Xstar module and was able to get the engine to start. Big mistake, the engine stopped but I believe I blew the mega fire module as the engine now would not start. This did not present a problem with starting the engine, but I could not stop it! Instead of grounding the ignition, I pulled the wire off the Spark Plug. On my first test, I forgot to hook the key switch up (Doh!).

One caution, make sure that you have everything hooked up before firing up the engine. I got the Stens Mega Fire II module and installed it with the negative terminal to ground and the positive to the coil. Sometimes it would sputter and quit (like a fuel problem) other times it would stop dead. Let it cool and it would run for a few minutes more.

It would run for 10 minutes and then quit running. I have a 1989 CCR2000 with a similar problem. Miller87: Excellent write up on solving the problem. If anyone can explain how this part of the ignition system works, I'd like to hear it. I don't know the durability of this module, but since I mounted it for easy replacement, it will probably never fail, haha. I'll let you know if anything goes wrong. Here's a link for a short vid of the machine running. I could have installed the new module in the factory location, but would have needed 1/4' longer screws and decided against that for the reasons I mentioned in previous posts. That's what the key switch ground wire uses. I considered getting a ring type wire connector and I still might. You can see how easy it would be to replace the module if needed. The yellow arrowВ points toВ the ground wire for the new module clamped under the same bolt used to ground the key switch. After installing the control panel I verified that the wires didn't interfere withВ the pull cord etc. I used a twist tie to hang it from the wires up by the key switch plug. It's the small brass box in the middle of the pic. This pictureВ shows theВ original part mounted on the bottomВ of the engne near the chute. I'll post pictures once I get it done if I can do it on this site. It seems like the old module failed when the engine was hot and I figuredВ minimizing vibration couldn't hurt. I'll secure the module body with a wire so it stays in placeВ yet is isolated from engine heat and vibration. I applied dielectric grease to all connections. I clamped the bare wire (which I stripped to about 1') under the bolt holding the key switch ground wire. I grounded the new module with theВ included bare-end wire. Since I'm not sure of the durability of the part in this application, I wanted to make it easy to replace it if it fails.ДЇrom what I can tell, the original part (Toro Xstar Module-Magneto 81-0340) was grounded by its metal case with the two screws that held it to the engine block. I decided to installВ the moduleВ up near the spark plug access cover instead of under the engine near the auger as the original part was. I installed it with the negative ground wiring as shown in the installation diagram. I actually got it from my local Toro shop. I bought the part mentioned in this thread, the Mega Fire II universal ignition module ().
