If you do not have spark, turn the key on. All Toro snowblowers have an ignition key that you turn or insert. Also you need to check and make sure the spark plug boot is securly over the plug.
If all this does not work, that it to your local dealer and have them check out the electrical system.

It could be a fouled spark plug or it could be flooded.
If it is flooded you should be able to smell a strong gas odor. Let it set for a half hour and try it again. I suggest you change the plug also.
If this is the first time you've started it since last winter I hope you didn't leave the gas in it as it will go bad. If this happens you will have to clean it out with a manufacturer recommended cleaner.

Spark comes from the coil through the voltage regulator. To check for spark, take off spark plug wire and hold it just above the spark plug, turn over engine and you should see a nice blue light. Make sure you wear rubber gloves when you do this or you may get shocked.
If no spark, check:
voltage regulator
Coil (electronic ignition)
Distributer (if equipped with one)
Battery

You have a dirty sparkplug. Take the sparkplug out and clean it with a wire brush. Also sandpaper the gap surfaces. Before you put it back in, spray a couple of shots of instant-start into the chamber. That should do it. It should start right up within the first 2 or 3 pulls!
