Yardworks snowblower problem engine no starting

Check to see you are getting spark at the spark plug. Take the plug out and put the plug wire on it and ground the the nut on the spark plug to the engine block and crank the engine and see if you get spark at the plug. If so then your carburetor has to be taken apart and cleaned.

Air intake is at the carburator, try to spray fluid in the air cleaner. If it still doesn't start, pull the spark plug wire off or pull the spark plug out and hold it a 1/4 inch or so from the engine head and pull the cord to see if your getting spark. If not then the magneto gap will need to be reset, or the voltage regulator may be bad..

are you getting spark , is the on switch on , some people forget to do this

Bad gas. Drain gas and refill with fresh gas with Stabil. Old oil. Drain oil fill with fresh 30w oil, 16-18oz. Clean air filter and spark plug.. Relpace air filter if dirty. Saving $$$ on this simple tune up is not intelligent.

Leaks are normally from bad seals or ones put on engine wrong. Many snow blowers leak oil, very common. Electric start needs to be taken apart. Rust is problem most likely. When you engage the starter it kicks out the gear to turn over engine. Carefully remove the starter from engine, try to start starter an if the pinion gear does not kick out from starter disassembly it an try to clean rust away from action. Dont break wires around electric motor careful about getting dirt an rust in winding. Try to lube spring an moving parts around gear. One other thing it could be a sheared off gear on starter also.

need more information, several reasons why an engine won't run

Old gas? Did you pull out the spark plug and see if you have a spark? If the gas is old, drain the tank and line to the carburator, then put in fresh gas. Never put it up for the summer with gas in it. Run it until the engines runs out of fuel, then put it away.

If there's no spark, then you have a coil issue.

How did you store it? The gas should be drained out of the carburator and tank prior to storing. If you don't do that it starts varnishing the jets closed in the carburator. So to start it, try draining all the old gas out. Take the spark plug out and put the wire back on and lay it on top of the block. Crank the engine over turn switch on if it has one, does it have spark? If it does good. If not try a new plug, if it still does not have spark you will have to pull the flywheel to see what is wrong with the points or pickup. Once you have spark established, put new fuel in tank. Spray a little WD40 into spark plug hole. Put spark plug back in and go through normal starting procedures. Good luck.

I would recommend a serious carburetor cleaning or even installing a new rebuild kit after the machine setting up for so long. The spark problem must be checked for either the (magneto to flywheel air gap) or the condition of the electrical points and condensor on it (if this older model has them)

if old gas was left in the tank and not flushed it makes the carb stick and won't allow the proper gas flow to the motor...I would first test the plug by verifying it has spark..if it does what i do at times is quickly spray some quick start in the plug chamber and reinsert the plug and try to restart...this at times will get the spark going and allow the motor to start.....you can also try to spary some in the carb before starting...just a squirt or two....the best thing to do is actually clean out the carb as it is likely the issue.....hope this helps
