Why won't my PowerLand PDST24 engine start?

  Several factors can prevent your PowerLand Snow Blower's engine from starting. Ensure the fuel tank has clean, fresh gasoline, as fuel older than thirty days may not work without a stabilizer. Check for a blocked fuel line and clean it if necessary. Confirm the fuel valve is in the 'On' position and inspect the spark plug—clean, adjust the gap, or replace it if faulty. Also, make sure the ignition key is inserted, the spark plug wire is connected, and the engine is properly primed.

  If your PowerLand Snow Blower isn't discharging snow, immediately stop the engine. First, check the chute assembly for clogs and clear it along with the inside of the auger housing using the chute clean-out tool. Also, look for any foreign objects lodged in the auger and remove them. Check and adjust the auger control cable and replace the drive belt if it's loose or damaged.

  If your PowerLand Snow Blower engine runs erratically, first ensure it's not running on CHOKE by moving the choke control to the OFF position. Check for a blocked fuel line or stale fuel; clean the fuel line and refill the tank with fresh gasoline (using a fuel stabilizer if the fuel will sit for over thirty days). Also, drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel to eliminate any water or dirt in the fuel system.
