Toro blower mystery failure.

Now before we end up in a cyber love in.
1) check you are getting a spark
if not remove the blower housing and disconnect the kill wire from the coil
2) get a can of carb cleaner and give the engine a short shot down the plug hole then replace the plug and pull the rope
goes bang proceed to # 3 does not go bang then you have a valve or timing failure
# 3 happens when we get an answer to # 1 & # 2

Bert, you didn’t catch that this is a 2-cycle hand blower.

If just saying, it was My blower. First thing I would do is pull muffler and see if mud doubler built a new home in it. Or other plugging thing's. See if it will try and run without muffler.

My uncle's Toro blower is defying all efforts. It will not turn over. It has a new plug and ignition module. I have tested the wires to the switch and the switch. I pulled the flywheel and checked the shear pin. The ignition module is grounding properly. I contacted my friend who has been in the repair business for years and he said " you covered all the bases that know ". I didn't do a full compression check. So I guess that could be an issue, but the compression does seem good. If anyone has an idea, please assist.

What brand is the ignition module?

How were the wires tested to the switch?

What about cleaning the OEM carb? Check for cracked fuel lines. Fresh fuel and 50:1 mix? Carb rebuild time?

What was the compression value?

You need to test the carb with one of these.
