Snowblower won't start. Bad spark plug?

Perhaps. I assume it’s been properly oiled? How old is the gas?

Carburetor, probably. Those things are notorious

If you don't use some type of gas additive... the Ethanol will gunk up your carburetor.

Yep, if wasn't winterized last spring then probably needs new gas + carb clean

I put gas in it but with fuel stabilizer. I guess it didn't work.

There is nothing more satisfying than doing all of that yourself for under $20.

Try either "Sea Foam" or "Mechanic in a Bottle"

If you're smelling gas, you might have primed it a bit too much. Let it sit for 10 min and try again without
