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 :
First step, check the fuel tank to make sure there is enough fuel to operate your snow blower. You should see fuel slosh around. Second step, check the spark plug. A wet plug means there`s fuel going through the fuel system and there may be an issue with the ignition.
If your snowblower won`t turn on or start, you can insert the key in the starter switch. There could be a problem with your starter switch or motor. To test the starter switch, you can use a multimeter. If the starter switch is not working properly, 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 build-up of snow in the discharge chute is a common snow blower problem. Snow build-up can prevent snow from blowing, so shut off your snow blower and clear any snow buildup in the chute. If the chute is clear, check the augers and auger drive system for problems. Defective impeller.
Check the Spark Plug and Ignition System
Fuel on the Spark Plug: If there`s fuel on your spark plug it likely means you flooded your snowblower engine trying to start it, so simply clean the fuel off of your spark plug.
Assuming the blower is 8HP, the required current draw from the 120v line would be in the order of 13-14 amps or 1700 watts.
Turn off the snowblower engine and leave it to cool. Remove the carburetor bowl, float bowl and flathead. Spray and clean the dirty carburetor with a carburetor cleaner, removing debris with a cloth. Let it sit to remove impurities.
Check the Spark Plug and Ignition System
Fuel on the Spark Plug: If there`s fuel on your spark plug it likely means you flooded your snowblower engine trying to start it, so simply clean the fuel off of your spark plug.
Wait for an hour or two if you`ve accidentally flooded the engine by pumping the prime button too many times. The fuel needs a little time to evaporate before you try to start the engine again.
