    How to start my Yardworks 31AM63KE515 if the engine fails to start?
    • D
      Debbie LangAug 6, 2025
      If your Yardworks Snow Blower engine won't start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the choke is in the CHOKE position. Next, check that the spark plug wire is securely connected to the spark plug. Also, verify that the fuel tank isn't empty or filled with stale fuel; if so, replenish it with clean, fresh gasoline. Additionally, ensure the engine is properly primed as instructed. Inspect the spark plug for any faults and clean, adjust the gap, or replace it if necessary. Finally, make sure the key is fully inserted into the ignition switch.

      If your Yardworks Snow Blower isn't discharging snow, immediately stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. Check for a clogged chute assembly and clean it, along with the inside of the auger housing, using a clean-out tool or stick. Also, inspect the auger for any foreign objects and remove them with a clean-out tool or stick. Finally, check the shear pins and replace with new ones if sheared.

      If your Yardworks Snow Blower engine is running erratically, with inconsistent RPMs, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the engine isn't running on CHOKE by moving the choke lever to the RUN position. Stale fuel can also cause this issue, so fill the tank with clean, fresh gasoline. Additionally, check for water or dirt in the fuel system; if present, drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel.
