Why my Power smart DB7659A-22 engine fails to start but cranks over?

If your Power smart Snow Blower engine fails to start but cranks over, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the engine ignition switch is in the ON position. Check that the safety key is fully inserted into the ignition. Also, make sure the fuel shut-off valve is in the ON position and that the fuel tank isn't empty, filled with old fuel, or contaminated with water. Confirm the spark plug wire is connected, and the spark plug isn't faulty. If the engine is flooded, discontinue using the choke or primer. If the engine is not primed, prime it. If the choke isn't in the START position, move it to START. If the issue persists, the fuel system or line may be blocked, requiring cleaning.
