Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Snowblowing tonight and the snowblower kept dying on me. I figured it was lots of wet heavy snow, stale fuel, or a combination of both. I would wait, restart and continue to move snow until it stalled again. Repeated this several times until the recoil starter refused to be pulled. It's jammed, won't pull out. Any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it.

Any help is much appreciated.
