Experienced gardeners share their insights in answering this question :
That’s refreshing! You’ve already done a lot of the work!
First, try regapping it at about .040, see if it starts there. If not, check compression.
Does it generate any spark at all? Try it with a screwdriver instead of the spark plug. If none, track back to the magneto – also check any shutoff wiring at the magneto.
Um… you DID put fresh gas INTO it, right? 8) If you take the bowl off temporarily, does gasoline drain freely from the bottom of the carburetor?
How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
If your snow blower electric starter does not respond when the starter switch is engaged, the switch or motor may be broken. If you press the starter switch and nothing happens at all, first check the power cord that connects to the starter to make sure the starter is receiving sufficient power.
If the V-belt is worn out, misadjusted, or broken, the snowblower wheels won`t turn. Inspect the belt to determine if it is broken or worn out, and make sure that the belt is properly adjusted. If the V-belt is broken or worn out, replace it.
The most common culprit of a hard-starting engine is stale fuel. If you left fuel in the tank over the summer, it`s best to drain it by accessing the fuel line or using a siphon system.
A clogged carburetor is usually the result of leaving fuel in your snow blower for an extended period of time. Old fuel resting in your snow blower can also result in fuel evaporation, which may leave behind a thick, sticky substance. That sticky fuel can clog the carburetor and prevent the engine from starting.
CAUSES OF FAULTY STARTERS: CAUSE OF FAILURE
Electrical connections faulty. Solenoid switch (engaging relay) stiff or faulty. Electric motor damaged electrically. Single-pinion gear, starter pinion or freewheel damaged.
You can pull the starter or safety key out if you need to shut off your engine quickly. Once you start your engine, let it run for a few minutes to warm up.
Because snow blowers are used in cold weather, a battery would not function well. Therefore, it`s necessary to plug it in to use the electric start. As a back-up, electric start snow blowers also come equipped with backup recoil starters.
Electric Start (Push Button) Snowblowers
Once it`s started, you can unplug and go. Because snow blowers are used in cold weather, a battery would not function well. Therefore, it`s necessary to plug it in to use the electric start.

Wont start now
ANSWER : By tipping it back, the spark plug got wet with gas. Replace the plug or remove it and clean it dry (after drying it, use a lighter or other heat source to make sure before putting it back in). A little starting fluid would also help after cleaning or replacing. Spray starting fluid in the air intake only, not on the plug.
