Why won't my Yard-Man Snow Blower engine start?
- T
  Terry YoungAug 14, 2025
  Several factors can prevent your Yard-Man Snow Blower from starting. The fuel tank might be empty or contain stale fuel, so refill it with fresh gasoline. A blocked fuel line could be the culprit, requiring cleaning. Ensure the choke is in the ON position and the safety key is fully inserted into the ignition switch. Also, check the spark plug for faults (clean, adjust the gap, or replace it) and make sure the spark plug wire is connected. Finally, ensure that the fuel shut-off valve is open. For the primer button usage, please refer to the engine manual.

  An erratic engine in your Yard-Man Snow Blower can stem from a few causes. First, ensure the unit isn't running on CHOKE by moving the choke lever to the OFF position. Check for a blocked fuel line or stale fuel, and clean the fuel line, refilling the tank with fresh gasoline. Water or dirt in the fuel system can also cause issues; drain the fuel tank and carburetor, then refill with fresh fuel. For carburetor adjustments, please refer to the engine manual.

Why are the heated grips not working on my Yard-Man Snow Blower?

  Brian AustinSep 9, 2025
  If the heated grips on your Yard-Man Snow Blower aren't creating heat, first check for loose electrical connections under the handle panel, from the handles to the wiring harness. Also, check the fuse and replace it with a #5A fuse if it's blown. The fuse is located under the handle panel near the switch connector. If one heated grip fails, both grips will not function. Have the grips checked at an authorized service dealer.
