Lets Test Our Technical Awareness

LetÂs Test Our Technical Awareness

I was servicing a 10-hp Tecumseh Snowblower, The problem was no Start, Further tests indicated no Spark, I changed the Spark plug with a known good plug still no spark. Another hint I used the electric start and I noticed the snowblower light would come on, so I figured the coil must be ok. What do you think the problem is? I did solve the problem but what do you think was the problem. LetÂs see who gets to the solution 1st.

The light does not work off the ignition coil, the engine is equipped with an alternator. Did you plug in the plastic key?

Coil ground wire burned fast to the muffler (engine)?

Boy that was fast Canguy Got-it 1st. There was no key. I overlooked that for abought 5 minutes. Most blowers that do not have a key the kill wire is usualy disconected well this one wasn't.

We usualy like to think the problem is more complicated vs something very simply but very critical. Congrats to Canguy
