I cannot for the life of me figure out where the spring extension needs to be placed on my Toro CCR 2450 snowblower. Model # 38516

This problem has been solved! I took the covers off the machine, removed the starter and eventually replaced the drive. Apparently the drive parts were put on back ordered and took about 4 weeks to get the drive set. One thing I suggest if anyone does this is to look at the fly wheel to insure it's in good working order. The dealer I worked with said often that is chewed up (the teeth on the fly wheel) and leads to a bigger headache. Fortunately mine was just fine. The machine now works likes like new as I put in a new spark plug as well!

No if your belt is shredding there is something rubbing on the belt. Check the idler/tightner pulley see if it spins freely. Check make sure nothing but the pulleys are touching the belt when it is engaged.

Remove the starter, then check the teeth, if the teeth
are ok, then the throwout Bering is bad, this is the part than pushes out the teeth so it contacts the
flywheel. The parts you need, teeth ,spring, throwout,
show as a kit, but you must buy them from a toro dealer, You need to have your serial #, because the parts are listed by different serial #'s. Now most times you would have to buy the whole starter, but it looks like you can get the kit. If the teeth are bad then the throwout is ok, but you still need the kit to fix your problem.

Next step would be to check the ignition module(coil),I have a lawnmower that uses the same 2 cycle engine. Check coil for spark by removing the spark plug from the block then connect the insulator side of the sparkplug back to the coil then ground the plug by touching the threaded side to the block away from the sparkplug hole while turning the engine over. Should see a spark, if not you'll need a new coil,not hard to replace. calls for Briggs & Stratton #80-1268 you can also use a Toro/Lawnboy coil #99-2911 or #99-2916 or #684049.
