Snowblower won't start. Out of ideas.

Well well well. I finally got around to attempting to fix this. I tore it apart down to the ignition coil and found that the ground wire that the throttle touches to stop that the ignition coil plugs into is completely frayed and separated.

So that would explain it. Now I am having one heck of a time finding a replacement.

Edit: Found it. It is sold as part of the throttle control assembly part# 951-10758. Hopefully that does it.

Half funny, half cruel.

Hopefully that is all the mice did.

That did it. I replaced the ignition coil while I was in there since I had a new one anyway. She started right up.

The lesson here is to keep digging and keep cats around. Stupid rodents.
