  Willie HernandezJul 26, 2025
  Several factors can prevent your MTD Snow Blower engine from starting. It could be due to an empty or stale fuel tank, so fill it with clean, fresh gasoline, using a fuel stabilizer if the fuel will sit for over thirty days. Other possible causes include a blocked fuel line (clean it), the choke not being in the ON position (move the switch to ON), a faulty spark plug (clean, adjust the gap, or replace it), the key not being inserted (insert the key), or the spark plug wire being disconnected (connect it). For the primer button, refer to the engine manual.

  If your MTD Snow Blower engine is running erratically, it might be running on CHOKE, so move the choke lever to the OFF position. Other potential causes include a blocked fuel line or stale fuel, in which case you should clean the fuel line and fill the tank with fresh gasoline, using a fuel stabilizer if the fuel will sit for over thirty days. Water or dirt in the fuel system can also cause this issue; drain the fuel tank and refill it with fresh fuel. For carburetor adjustments, refer to the engine manual or have it adjusted by an authorized service dealer.

  A loss of power in your MTD Snow Blower can stem from a few reasons. Check the spark plug wire and ensure it is connected and tightened. Also, the gas cap vent hole might be plugged with ice or snow, so clear it. Finally, the exhaust port could be plugged, requiring cleaning as described in the engine manual's maintenance section.

  Bobby DavisAug 8, 2025
  If your MTD Snow Blower isn't discharging snow, immediately stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before taking any action. A clogged discharge chute is a common cause, so clean the discharge chute and the inside of the auger housing. Also, check for any foreign object lodged in the auger and remove it. Other possible causes include incorrect adjustment of the drive cable (adjust the drive cable), a loose or damaged drive belt (replace the drive belt), or sheared shear bolts (replace the shear bolts).
