  If the starter operates but the Honda Snow Blower engine doesn't start, consider these possibilities: * Ensure the throttle is in the FAST position. * For a hot start, the choke should be OFF; for a cold start, it should be ON. * Confirm the fuel valve is ON and the sediment cup isn't obstructed. * Use fresh fuel, and drain the carburetor and sediment cup if needed. * Check the spark plug cap connection, ensure the spark plug is free of deposits, and verify the proper gap.

  If the starter operates but the Honda Snow Blower engine doesn't start, several factors could be at play. Ensure the throttle is in the FAST position and the choke is correctly set (OFF for a hot start, ON for a cold start). Check that the fuel valve is ON and the sediment cup isn't obstructed. Stale fuel can also be a culprit, so use fresh fuel and drain the carburetor and sediment cup. Make sure the spark plug cap is connected, the spark plug is free of deposits, and has the proper gap. For HSS1332ATD models, confirm the auger lock isn't activated by removing any debris from the auger.

Why does my Honda HSS1332A engine have low power?

  John GreenAug 7, 2025
  Low power in your Honda Snow Blower engine can result from several factors: * Excessive load from blowing wet, deep snow too quickly. Try a slower ground speed. * The throttle lever may not be in the FAST position; always move it to FAST when blowing snow. * Wet, deep cuts can overload the engine; reduce the snow blowing swath. * A restricted discharge chute can cause low power; clear any obstructions. * A loose spark plug cap or deposits on the spark plug can be the cause. Make sure the spark plug cap is securely connected and verify the spark plug is free of deposits and has the proper gap. * Stale fuel can also reduce power. Add fresh fuel and drain the carburetor and sediment cup.

  If your Honda Snow Blower engine has low power, consider these points: Reduce ground speed when blowing wet, deep snow. Ensure the throttle lever is in the FAST position. Reduce the snow blowing swath in wet, deep conditions. Clear any obstructions from the discharge chute. Check that the spark plug cap is secure and the spark plug is free of deposits with the correct gap. Also, ensure you are using fresh fuel; drain the carburetor and sediment cup if necessary.

  If the Honda Snow Blower engine runs but the machine doesn't move, check that the drive clutch lever is in the ENGAGED position. Also, verify that the shift lever is not in “N” (Neutral); it should be in “F” (Forward) or “R” (Reverse). If these steps don't resolve the issue, the drive clutch lever mechanism or cable might not be functioning correctly, and it may require servicing.
