    Why won't my Yard-Man YM2BV Blower engine start?
    • S
      Stephen ScottAug 1, 2025
      If your Yard-Man Blower engine won't start, there are several possible causes: * The fuel tank may be empty: Fill it with properly mixed fuel. * The primer bulb may not have been pressed enough: Press it fully and slowly 10 times. * The engine may be flooded: Move the choke lever to Position 3, hold down the trigger, and pull the starter rope. * The fuel may be old or improperly mixed: Drain the tank and add fresh, properly mixed fuel. * The spark plug may be fouled: Clean, gap, or replace it.
