More than likely the wire that runs from the ignition switch to the kill switch is disconnected, loose, or broken. The wire starts at the OFF position of the ignition switch and connects to another wire that shuts off the engine.

In order to use a yard machine snow blower safely and properly, you must first read the safety manual and instructions and be sure to follow them correctly.
Hi, I'm Ken with The Home Depot. I've taken a look at three different models of Yard Machine snow blowers and they all show in the specifications to use 5W-30W weight oil.
The engine is manufactured in China, which I am assuming you mean the Powermore 357cc engine. The plant in China is a partnership of MTD in Canada...
On my 8hp model, there is a drain that comes straight off the back of the engine. If you are standing behind the snowblower, bend down and look at the back of the engine between the handles. You should see a square plug. Unscrew that, oil will flow.
There are several snow blowers on the market that have similar features as the MTD Snowblower system. These are the Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines and Poulan to name a few.
The best site I can suggest for manuals is the link below.
Go to www.mtdproducts.com You can put your model number and get a parts breakdown. If you use your model number and serail number you can get the owners manual too.
