Why does my Powersmart Snow Blower engine fail to start?
- AAnna DavisAug 18, 2025
Your Powersmart Snow Blower engine might fail to start due to several reasons: the spark plug wire may be disconnected (connect it to the spark plug); the spark plug might be faulty (clean, adjust the gap, or replace it); the engine could be flooded with fuel (discontinue choke or primer use, clean or replace the spark plug); the safety key may not be inserted (insert it fully); the choke may not be in the START position (move it to START); the fuel might be old or stale (empty and clean the fuel tank and carburetor, refill with fresh gasoline); the fuel system could be blocked (clean the fuel system); or the extension cord isn't properly attached to the electric starter terminal (re-insert the extension cord).
