I think the spark plug may be bad because when I tested I wasn't getting spark everytime. Which spark plug do I use. The manual says it takes a RJ19LM but I pulled a RC12YC out of it this afternoon. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated, we are getting 10 inches of snow tonight. Thanks.
Is the snow blower new? Were you the first owner? If not i would make sure the manual is to that exact snow blower and buy what it says in the manual. If your not the first owner someone could of put whatever plug he had on hand or the shop had on hand.

We have a 8 HP Briggs on our snow blower and it was acting up last year. It died under any type of load. I changed the plug and so far it seems to be working fine. Hope that helps
