  Your Troy-Bilt snow blower might not start due to several reasons: * The choke may not be in the CHOKE position, so move it accordingly. * The spark plug wire might be disconnected; connect it to the spark plug. * The fuel tank could be empty or contain stale fuel; refill with fresh gasoline. * The engine may not be primed; prime it as instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual. * The spark plug could be faulty; clean, adjust the gap, or replace it. * The key may not be in the ignition; insert it fully into the switch. * The extension cord might not be connected; connect it to the electric starter outlet and a grounded AC outlet.
