Electric start button quit working

A Bit Difficult
Total Repair Time:
30 - 60 mins
Tools:
Screw drivers, Socket set, Wrench set
1. Removed the plastic cover which also holds the gas tank.
2. Removed the plastic housing that contains the electric start button.
3. Removed a side panel to gain access to the electric start motor. Cut the ty-rap that helps hold the motor in place and removed the motor. It was not easy getting at the bolts that secures the m otor to the machine. Torx drivers and sockets are needed to remove the bolts. I was hoping the motor was still good because the snowblower is old and the motor is not made anymore. The motor was good. I replaced the switch and plugged it into an extension cord and pushed the new button and the motor ran. I then put the motor back on the snowblower and screwed the covers back on.
4. I had to wait a while for the parts to get to me because ReplacementParts had to wait for the manufacturer to ship them. I highly recommend ReplacementParts.com and will be a returning customer if I need parts.
