  If your Briggs & Stratton Snow Blower engine won't start, try these steps: * Ensure the key is in the ON position. * If the engine is cold, press the primer button twice. * Check that the fuel shut-off valve is in the OPEN position. * Make sure the fuel tank isn't empty and refill if needed. * For a cold engine, turn the choke ON and set the throttle to FAST. * If the engine is flooded, turn the choke OFF and attempt to start it again. * For electric start models, ensure the cord is plugged in or replace it if defective. * If the problem persists, the issue might be no spark, water in the fuel, or old fuel, which may require assistance from an authorized dealer or draining and refilling the fuel tank with fresh fuel.

  If your Briggs & Stratton Snow Blower engine starts hard or runs poorly, try the following: * Move the choke to the OFF position if the fuel mixture is too rich. * Clear the fuel cap vent if it's blocked. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the spark plug may be faulty, fouled, or gapped incorrectly, and you should consult an authorized dealer.

  If the auger on your Briggs & Stratton Snow Blower doesn't stop within 5 seconds after releasing the right control lever: * Ensure that the Free-Hand™ control is not active by releasing both the auger control and traction/Free-Hand™ control levers. * If this doesn't solve the problem, the auger control cable may be out of adjustment, which requires adjusting the auger control cable and ensuring it passes Safety Test 1. If the Free-Hand™ control is not working correctly or the auger belt guide is out of adjustment, consult an authorized dealer.
