Why Powersmart Snow Blower engine fails to start but cranks over?
- PpattymossAug 16, 2025
If the engine of your Powersmart Snow Blower fails to start but cranks over, there are several potential causes. It could be due to a disconnected spark plug wire (connect it), a faulty spark plug (clean, adjust the gap, or replace it), or the engine being flooded with fuel (discontinue choke or primer use and clean or replace the spark plug). Other possible reasons include the safety key not being fully inserted (insert it), the choke not being in the START position (move it to START, then slowly to RUN), incorrect or stale fuel (empty and clean the fuel tank and carburetor, then refill with fresh gasoline), a blocked fuel system (clean it), or the extension cord not properly attached to the electric starter terminal (re-insert it).
