I have this massive snow blower that won't start. Not sure why.

Need to get in the garage today and look at it.

Where should i start? I don't know shit about small engines and how they work.

Guessing its an issue with spark though.

BRB, going to check it. Hit me with ideas. Pics and more info to follow.

Did it have gas in it? I know I had an issue with old gas last year. I siphoned it all out and put in new gas. After about ten minutes of cursing and trying to start it, it finally turned over.

Changing the spark plug wouldn't hurt either. I think I'll do that as well. I've had it a few years and have yet to change it.

I'm going to jump on too....mine will run when feeding starter fluid, so I'm sort of ruling out spark/magneto. I pulled the fuel line to the carb and it's not clogged. One thing that was interesting, the primer won't actually pump any gas into the carb? Carb clogged?
