Do snow blowers have batteries?

Most people opt for the electric start feature because they want to avoid the shoulder strain. With an electric start, you simply plug your snow blower into an outdoor outlet with an extension cord, then push the start button. Because snow blowers are used in cold weather, a battery would not function well.

Can I use a regular extension cord to start my snowblower?

An electric snowblower will have a power rating measured in amps (e.g. 12A). Your winter extension cord needs to be able to handle the rated amps of your snowblower. The numbers don’t need to match exactly, but generally, a 12-gauge cord 50′-100′ long will safely handle equipment using 10-15 amps of power.

How do you start a snowblower that has been sitting?

Starting a snowblower after summer is difficult when you have stale fuel in the system. To start a snowblower after sitting, you first need to drain the tank and add fresh fuel and stabilizer to it. If the engine still won’t start, clean the carburetor or check the spark plug for damage.

Can you over prime a snowblower?

Priming the engine moves fuel through the fuel lines and into the carburetor. Our Toro snowblower recommends pressing the primer button twice. We’ve found it actually requires more like 8-10 pumps to get going. Be careful not to over-prime, however, since it can flood the engine.

Should I use fuel stabilizer in my snowblower?

If you put your snowblower away sans fuel, it may be hard to start next year. Instead, we suggest putting a fuel stabilizer such as Sta-Bil in your last can of gas. It will get into the engine and fuel system during use. Before storing, fill the snowblower tank nearly full.

Why is my snowblower sputtering?

Gas Snowblower: Engine runs rough. A clogged fuel filter will also prevent the engine from getting fuel, causing the engine to sputter or run rough. Check the fuel filter and replace it if clogged. A dirty spark plug won’t ignite the fuel consistently, causing the engine to miss and sputter.

Why does my snowblower engine rev up and down?

If the snowblower engine RPMs are surging up and down, check the following parts for damage: springs, gasket, carburetor, and spark plug. There are springs on the carburetor that allow the butterfly valves to open and close properly. The springs also ensure the governor is operating properly.
