  There are several reasons why your Yard-Man Snow Blower might not be starting. It could be due to an empty fuel tank or stale fuel, so try filling the tank with fresh gasoline. Another reason may be a blocked fuel line, which you should clean. Ensure the choke is in the ON position and that the spark plug isn't faulty—clean, adjust the gap, or replace it if necessary. Also, check that the safety key is fully inserted into the ignition switch and that the spark plug wire is connected. Lastly, make sure you are using the primer button properly; consult the engine manual for instructions.
