Throttle question on ariens 30 deluxe
Tried reading online about how the throttle and govener works on these snowblowers. I got my snowblower I bought up and running. Just wondering why does it not sound like higher rpms when I have it at full Throttle? It sounds like it jumps up a speed but doesn't really rev high. Normal?

Yes, that is normal. Probably. Kind of hard to tell by reading text on a screen of course. Most snowblower engines run at about 3,600 rpm give or take a bit, so it should sound about the same speed as a lawn mower, they usually run about the same speed.
Thanks, I'm just used to a riding mower that really revs up at higher throttle. Maybe I'll set the idle screw a bit more to run higher rpms? Don't wanna over do it obviously. I'm not sure how to tell if it's running at 3600 or anywhere near that lol

The idle screw has nothing to do with max speed unless something very odd is going on, and on all the mowers I have owned, engine speed is typically *less* than 3600 - the blade just makes a crap-ton of noise compared to a blower. Put a tach on it - if you see 3600 or so, it'll work fine and much higher is just an engine failure looking for a place to happen.
You can use a tachometer like this:
This one's battery is replaceable, so if it dies after several years, you can keep using the same unit, vs buying a whole new one. It's also an hour meter, to help with maintenance.
I wouldn't make any changes before actually being able to measure the speed. You're just going by ear, which may not be accurate. Running the engine too-fast can damage it.
