    247.88190 snow thrower has ignition key problem
    This is a Craftsman 9 hp machine. The motor turns, it has spark, fresh gas, yet it does not start and I see no smoke from exhaust, I am respectful that something went wrong with the ignition switch. I insert the key or remove the key with no difference in cranking. My question: how do I by pass the ignition switch on this snow thrower?
    Thanks,
    - Andy

    If the engine has spark ign is okay these keys only ground out spark sounds like fuel is not getting to spark plug try spraying carb cleaner not starting fluid into carb and see if it tries to start
