My snowblower in not even a year old used 1/2 season and now im unable to start it is electric start and pull neither work even after priming and tank full

hi

just because you brought it 4 years ago does not mean it is four years old thats when you first used it the machine itself could be 6-7 years old
anyhoo
it sounds to me that when you stored your tool up last time may be for the winter
there was still fuel left in the carburetor
what happens is any fuel left in the carb will expand in cold weather and when it expands it stretches the diaphragm inside the carburetor
hence as soon as you touch the throttle it will probably flood the engine making it hard to start
i will need the full information on the make model engine size

if its like all the others prime it 4 to 6 times and full choke. pull hard. put choke to center when it starts and let warm up a few minutes and then shut choke off and go nuts... if it has an actual throttle it should be full on aka rabbit on some machines. im sure you can google a owners manual easily too...good luck

If it's the starter that makes a humming noise then you need to check the starter out. the gears could be stripped or even a tooth missing so it won't grab the fly wheel. Try pulling the start rope and see if that makes a difference. My Craftsman 8 horse has a recoil starter as well and I quite often use it as well. I don't always use the electric start.

Air intake is at the carburator, try to spray fluid in the air cleaner. If it still doesn't start, pull the spark plug wire off or pull the spark plug out and hold it a 1/4 inch or so from the engine head and pull the cord to see if your getting spark. If not then the magneto gap will need to be reset, or the voltage regulator may be bad..

check gas and oil
check blower housing (round part) for ice and snow ( clear if needed)
put gas and choke on full
prime 3 times pull cord or hit electric start
repeat if it doesnt start with priming 3 more times

Did you drain the gas from last year? Gas is only good for a few Months. You should always run the machine dry at the end of the season or add Fuel Stabilizer at the end of the season. Id start by getting all the old gas out of the tank and the fuel Bowl on the carburetor. You will also want to check for spark. to make sure there are no electrical issues. Check oil level also. Depending on machine it may not start if oil level is to low alot of machines have a oil pressure switch.

Old gas? Did you pull out the spark plug and see if you have a spark? If the gas is old, drain the tank and line to the carburator, then put in fresh gas. Never put it up for the summer with gas in it. Run it until the engines runs out of fuel, then put it away.

If there's no spark, then you have a coil issue.

Many small engine problems such as you described are fuel related. In today's world, most of our gasolines are blended with ethanol and thus gasoline shelf life has been reduced to 4-6 months. It is important that after each season's use you be certain to run the snowblower until all gasoline in the tank and carburetor have been used - effectively running the snowblower out of gas. If you did't do that last season the "old" gasoline in the carburetor has began to gum up and will not let the carburetor mix fuel and air properly. The solution will be to remove, disassemble and clean the carburetor. It is likely the gas tank will also need to be drained, removed, and cleaned. If you are unable to do this you will need to take to a qualified small engine mechanic in your area.

Lastly and, very importantly, make certain when you are ready to use your repaired snowblower that you use FRESH gasoline. And, remember the first part of this discussion at the end of the season.

check gas and oil
put full thottle
full choke
prime 3 times
pull cord or electric start
repeat if doesnt start

if the pump is working correctly, it can either be, need more water to prime it, or something in the well, such as low water, plugged filter, etc....sometimes when you have a system that is intermittently used, it can take 20 or 30 minutes of continuous priming to get it to pull, enough water to maintain the prime.
