Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Craftsman Snow Thrower Electric start dual stage, craftsman snow thrower, hp model


Question
Craftsman 9 HP model 536.887991 Tecumseh
We have had temperatures in the -15 degree range for several days. This AM I hooked up the electric start, set the choke primed it and pushed the button. It kicked over once. Now I get nothing when I push the electric start button. Any suggestions?

Answer
Hi Salvatore,

I would check the outlet that the starter plugs into.  The load from the cold oil and engine may have tripped the circuit breaker.  If you have power, then I would check the snowblowers' starter to see if it has a reset button or fuse.  From there, you would need to test the starter and its' starter button.

Let me know how you make out.
