  Sara DodsonJul 29, 2025
  Your Sears Snow Blower might not be starting due to several reasons: the fuel shut-off valve may be in the OFF position (turn it to OPEN); the safety ignition key might not be inserted (insert it); it could be out of fuel (refill with fresh gasoline); the throttle may be in the STOP position (move it to FAST); the choke may be in the OFF position (move it to FULL); the primer might not be depressed (prime as instructed); the engine could be flooded (wait a few minutes before restarting, and do not prime); the spark plug wire could be disconnected (connect it); the spark plug might be bad (replace it); or the fuel could be stale or contain water (empty the fuel tank and carburetor, then refill with fresh gasoline).

  If your Sears Snow Blower experiences loss of snow discharge, check if the auger belt is off the pulley and reinstall it, or if the auger belt is worn and needs replacement. Also, inspect the snow chute for clogs and clean it, and check the augers and impeller for jams, removing any debris.
