hahaha thanks for the help guys. I got it. :thumbsup:
two things, one the spark plug was fouled and two:
-that "pin" coming off the generator is actually NOT supposed to be connected to the block. I found that it needs t b apart from the block in order to create a spark. whoops :mad2:
either the way, the plug was fouled so 2.99 plus tax later I had a running snow blower again.
I actually spent the time last October getting my snowblower all ready for the season......haven't started it since. Feels like April around here. About ready to break out the lawnmower.
