Just curious, not trying to salt the wound. I have an Ariens as well, dozen years old.

Another lesson the Old Man taught us is to check the oil EVERY time before you start an engine. Had the prescribed amount of oil in it....that is HAD....its all over my driveway now.........I bought it used 3 years ago for a song, so the machine really owes me nothing at this point in the game. Thing is probably 30yrs old. My pops had the same malfunction with his a couple of years ago. he went the new engine route, $500 beans, and still using it for its 32nd year.....but I need a bigger machine anyway.
The local Ariens dealer in Swansea laughed at me when I asked him if they had any snowblowers and when I told him what I was looking for.....he said come back in october. Areins factory is out of blowers. Gonna look on line, then steal wifey's cc.....She'll never notice the $1500 charge on it, will she???????
