I have a one year old Simplicity 1524 pro snowblower. Briggs& Stratton engine that does not seem to be getting gas. I started with new premium gas and when it wouldn't start I drained it and put new gas but still nop go. If I squirt carb cleaner into carb it will run until it's gone then did. The plug looks fine,gas is turned on:-)) but no go. If I prime it I don't get that gas smell like it's flooded.

Any thoughts?

Thanks Ivan

i have the same machine and earlier this year shut the fuel off and ran it dry. could NOT start it one week later no matter what i did, until i pulled the spark plug, used a turkey baster to squirt a little fuel into the cylinder. i should add - had to remove plastic engine covers to get at the plug, and had to pull the red "key" out to do that. please remember to replace key before you try to start.. i was totally befuddled until i realized key was out...
