Champion Spark Plug (RCJ8Y). The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture in the cylinder to power the engine. If the spark plug is burnt, fouled or damaged the engine may not start or may run rough.

NGK Spark Plug (B8HS)

Spark plug
A fouled or worn spark plug is one of the quickest fixes for a Husqvarna snowblower that won't start or runs rough. Over time, carbon buildup and electrode wear reduce ignition spark, especially if your blower sat all summer with old fuel in the tank. Replacing the spark plug is a five-minute job that often saves you from a carburetor cleaning.
Husqvarna snowblowers use specific spark plug types — verify your model number to get the exact heat range and gap specification. Using the wrong plug can cause hard starting or overheating. Always check the plug gap and clean the electrode before assuming you need a new one; sometimes a quick gap adjustment or cleaning restores spark.
Husqvarna snowblower engines typically use Champion or NGK plugs in standard sizes like RJ19LM or BR2LM, but heat range and gap vary by engine displacement and model year. Always enter your snowblower model number into Repair Clinic's lookup tool — it will show you the exact spark plug type, gap specification, and compatible brands. Using the wrong heat range can cause hard starting or engine damage.
Spark plugs last 100 to 300 hours of operation depending on fuel quality and maintenance. Since most snowblowers run seasonally (20 to 50 hours per winter), replace the plug once per year before the season starts. If your blower sat all summer, drain the old fuel and replace the plug — stale ethanol fuel fouls plugs quickly and causes starting problems.
Check the plug first. Remove it and look for black soot (fouled), white crusty deposits (oil-fouled), or a gap wider than the spec. If the electrode looks worn flat or burned, replace it. A weak spark plug alone won't turn a cold engine over, so also check fuel flow (fuel line, primer bulb) and carburetor condition. If the plug is clean and gapped correctly but you still have no spark, the ignition module may have failed.
Light carbon buildup can sometimes be cleaned with a wire brush or fine steel wool, and re-gapping the plug may restore spark. However, a worn electrode (flat top, rounded) or cracked insulator means replacement. Spark plugs are cheap — $3 to $8 for OEM types — and a new plug help ensure reliable winter starts. Don't risk a no-start in a snowstorm with a marginal plug.
