Ariens 24” snowblower not starting
The title says it all.
Bought a brand new Ariens 24” Deluxe snowblower last year from Lowe’s. It worked great that year, no issues. We didn’t get too much snow last year so it still is very bright and shiney. Only used it 2 or 3 times that year.
I’m trying to start it up right now, I made all the necessary adjustments.
Has fuel
Oil is still clean and filled
Start key is in
Fuel control turned to ‘on’
Choke is set to ‘start’
Primed the bulb only twice. Used the electric start, and the engine is trying to turn over but won’t. Tried to pull start, nope nothing. Tried the electric start again, same result. I checked everything again and it all looked solid.
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’m shocked it’s so brand new and it won’t start.
Is there something I’m missing? According to Ariens it’s still under warranty, so that’s good.
UPDATE: Old gas the was problem. I syphoned out the old gas, put in 4oz of Mechanic in a Bottle plus new gas, and it started right up! I let it run for 8-10minutes to let the carb get cleaned out. Thank you everyone who helped out. I greatly appreciate it. I've learned a lot from this and will pass on what I learned.
