Has anyone replaced a carburetor on a Toro CCR 3650 single stage snowblower? If so, is this a complicated procedure? What should I expect to pay for a new or rebuilt carburetor?

Thanks for your advice!

Removal, rebuild and replacing a carb is a piece of cake.   Just remember how the linkage and fuel lines hook up.  Other than that it's a couple of screws/nuts to get it off,  and usually four screws to remove the float bowl.  A jet or two to remove with a proper size flat screw driver.  Kits are cheap but I seldom ever use them.   More often than not, I can get a carb running perfectly just with a good cleaning.

As far as Toros being loud, I have to agree.  For a change, I didn't use the old Craftsman SS machine today and pulled out the 221QE.  It is very loud.  I think it has a lot to do with the large, hard plastic body around the engine.  It's quite a bit louder than the old Craftsman and MTD.    As far as replacement engines for the older Toros, I'd certainly look at putting in a Tecumseh two cycle engine.  They're fantastic little engines capable of some serious power if cranked up.
