I bought my snow blower last year in 2009, used it only 3 times, went to use it this year and it will not start.
When you prime it, it does nothing- it turns over but will not start.
Now we are supposed to get 7 to 9 inches of snow starting today or tomorrow, and I have no way of clearing it. I am a single woman with a large driveway and if I can't clean out the snow, it's a little hard to go to work

That being said, and with snow on the way- if you left gas in the tank all summer with no stabilizer, try draining the old gas out and putting fresh gas in. Old gas doesn't ignite well, and tends to gum up the carburetor. The new gas may get you going before the storm hits.
The Owner's Manual will cover how to prep your snow thrower for storage so this doesn't happen again.
