  Kimberly CunninghamJul 26, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Snow Blower doesn't start, here's what you can check: * Ensure the fuel shut-off valve is in the “OPEN” position. * Make sure the safety ignition key is inserted. * Check the fuel level and refill if necessary. * Position the throttle to “FAST” (or the ON/OFF switch to “ON”). * Move the choke to the “FULL” position. * Prime the engine as instructed in the Operation section of this manual. * If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before restarting and avoid priming. * Verify the spark plug wire is connected to the spark plug. * Replace the spark plug if it’s bad. * Drain and refill the tank with fresh, clean fuel if the fuel is stale. * If there's water in the fuel, drain both the fuel tank and carburetor, then refill with fresh gasoline.
