I have an OLD Toro Snowblower that will not start this winter. Any ideas to get it running?

It's the same one as pictured here:

Premix with oil 40/1 ratio. I got a tune up last year, so it should be working. I know once I get it running it'll be good for Winter again, but I need that 'first start up'!

Any easy ideas? I'm no mechanic! Thanks

    The old ones have points or plugs….take it to a Toro place and they will fix it……even to a gas station might look at it for a fee….call around before you take it anywhere.

    Make sure to push the primer button, check your plug.

    Did you leave the old gas from last year in it? You may need to flush and replace. Does it try to start and just not catch?
