Hey everybody, Tom here, and in this video, we’ll help you troubleshoot your small engine, like the one you’ll find in your snow blower, lawnmower, or generator, when it just won’t start.
For each problem, we’ll provide a link in the description to a full repair video, so you can get your engine back in working order. Let’s get started.
Problem number one: the spark plug. Inspect the spark plug to ensure it’s connected properly and to look for signs of damage. Cleaning a dirty spark plug is easy, but if you see signs of dirt or damage, you may wish to simply replace the spark plug entirely. You can also use a spark plug tester to know for sure if your spark plug is working properly.
Problem number two: the carburetor. Over time, your carburetor can become clogged, especially if you leave fuel in your engine for long periods of time. Use carburetor cleaner to clean it up and reinstall it onto your engine.
Problem number three: the ignition coil. This sends voltage to the spark plug when the engine is running. Check it with an ignition coil tester to be sure it’s working as it should. If it’s not, you’ll need to replace it.
Problem number four: the flywheel key. If your engine stops suddenly, the flywheel key will break in half to prevent damage to the engine. Check the flywheel key, and if it’s broken, replace it.
Problem number five: the recoil starter. If your recoil starter is defective, you won’t be able to get your engine to turn over. Remove it from your engine and check it for signs of damage.
Problem number six: the switches. If you’ve checked all these other parts and couldn’t find the problem, there may be an issue with your start switch, safety switch, or on/off switch. Use a multimeter to test them for continuity and replace them if necessary.
