Ok so here's the thing...I just removed the carb again to clean it completely just in case that I forgot to clean something before...I will re-install it tomorrow. The fuel is getting to the carb without problem, the spark plug is doing spark but it still not start. Yesterday I verified if the magnet that is glued on the flywheel was there and everything look nice, the spark plug is getting wet if I try to start the snowblower....I already open the head of the motor and both cylinder and piston are nice...The valves are dirty but working fine so I cleaned the the best I could.Like I said I will re-install the carb tomorrow and give it a last shot, if it's still won't start I will bring it to a professional...

If you think about something else don't hesitate...

Thanks.

The motor should at least start if it's one of those two things no??? Can it be the condensor or the timing???

Thanks,

I just bought a used ariens snowblower yesterday...The guy told me that it was running fine last year and that he used it once this year but that he was not able to start it twice. the motor was turning free by hands so i bought it thinking that it was a carb broblem, I cleaned it completely,replace the needle, verifyed the spark plug to see if it was doing spark and it did...But still wont start... the gas arrive without problem and the spark is there to but it does'nt start. Any suggestions??? (maybe a timing problem ???)

Thanks.
