Several years ago I treated myself to a new Husqvarna snowblower. Nice snowblower but it never started well. Certainly not as well as my Honda tiller and Honda mowers. I pulled the spark plug and sure enough it was a E3. Swapped it out for a NGK and now it starts on first pull, just like my old Hondas. Amazing what a good quality spark plug can do. 👍🏼
Nice job straightening that bent crankshaft, Greg! When diagnosing crank no starts I always spray some 2-stroke fuel into the intake first. If it fires that eliminates 4 of the 5 requirements to run right off the bat (air, compression, timing, spark). The only thing left is fuel, which is at least 90% of the issues with no starts. Saves time and effort, plus if you don’t know how long an engine has been sitting, then adding a little oil into the cylinder is a good idea anyway.
Always look forward to your projects. Your amiable nature and narrative are much appreciated. Thank you and please do more videos.

I agree! Thank you for watching.

A way to get more engagement is to respond to comments as much as possible. Just saying. 😉
