To get your snowblower to start, check the fuel by ensuring it's fresh and not over a month old. Inspect the spark plug for wear and clean or replace it if necessary. Verify the choke is on, the fuel valve is open, and the throttle is set to full. If it still won't start, try priming it by pressing the primer bulb a few times.
