hello
I need some help and guidance for my Ariens ST 30 LE deluxe snowblower
the model number is 921013.
I am going to install a Clarence impeller kit because I also am having trouble
snow blowing even a couple inches of wet snow. The machine worked great
in the blizzard of 2013 where the snow in my driveway was 21 to 23 inches
of snow.
The question I have is after taking off the top chute the impeller is offset
To the rear of the discharge hole almost 1 inch. The impeller is also over
5/16 inch gap in some places. I contacted Ariens about the offset impeller
and they said it was normal. Looking into my neighbors Honda this impeller l
is lined up with the discharge hole leading to the chute perfectly.
also the impeller clearance in his machine is only about 1/8 inch clearance
in his houseing. Contrary to what Ariens told me all snowblowers have trouble moving wet snow.
His Honda running next to my is throwing a wet snow 10 feet father than
my Ariens.
What are your thoughts on removing the role pins and moving the impeller to center up to discharge hole by re-drilling the role pinholes?
also do you think the Clarence impeller will be a improvement throwing wet snow.
My machine has the 342 cc engine and has plenty of power even in the big drifts.
