Additional Information

The snowblower ignition switch cap, part number 07517700, fits over the ignition switch to shield it from snow, ice, and debris during operation. Keeping the switch protected helps maintain reliable starting and shutdown control.

If the ignition area is exposed, the switch feels loose, or moisture builds up around the switch, the cap may be cracked, missing, or no longer fitting securely. Difficulty inserting or removing the ignition key can also indicate damage to the cap.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The ignition switch area is near electrical components and metal surfaces, so work gloves can help protect your hands during handling. Press the cap into place securely and confirm it seats properly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
