I thought this would maybe be a better location than the technical forum.... I have seen two snow blowers already this year, and several in the past in which the electric starts do not work. These are the type that the plug-in/switch sets on top of the engine and you use an extension cord. The recoil works fine so they have not been interested in repairing. I have only offered to get the unit running (primarily fuel/carb issues) as I do not have a good understanding of electrical items.
Has anyone (tried to) repaired these units? They are fairly easy to remove and get on the work bench. Is there a common issue with these? Are they fixable? (ie., are parts reasonable/available).
I have not opened one up yet but plan to do so the next time I see one to explore.
