Out of gasoline? I think those things take gas, don’t they?
get your foot out of it duh
Somebody might of stuck something in it if you know what I mean.
You primed it? I mean, getting gas into the carburetor and lines, that sort of thing?
Let it watch the football game and give it a few beers and then if your lucky it will feel more motivated.
Will it crank and just not run or will it not crank?
Internal combustion engines need 3 things to operate.
Fuel
Air
Spark
If you have checked and remedied the fuel and spark then it is an airflow problem.
I have never seen a snow blower as we don’t need them in Texas but I have seen plenty of engines.
Take out the spark plug and pour a small amount of gas in the hole. Quickly replace the spark plug. It should start. I have to do this all the time. Tthey aren’t built to last long.
What make and HP is the engine?? I am assuming it is 4 cycle seeing as you have changed the oil. There are so many things that will cause a no start situation. Some engine specific and others general.
