I also have a Toro s620, I got mine at the dump and it ran haha.

Give it a shot of carb cleaner into the carb and see if it starts, if it doesn't then with good compression and spark I would look at either a clogged muffler or a sheered flywheel key. More then likely it is the carburator because its common for snow blowers.

Those have a diaphragm in the carburetor which dries up and doesn't allow fuel to flow. I would remove the carb, take it apart, soak it in carb cleaner and give it a fresh rebuild kit. If you have no experience with these carburetors reply back and one of us will help you. Also its a good idea to replace the fuel line, and I added a fuel filter to mine.

yes, those Tecumseh diaphragm carbs are slightly odd, but are super simple, just a real pain to get out at times!!!
