    Edit! I got my "open" and "choke" backwards in the original post. Hi. I have an ariens 824 dual stage model 920014. I have a choke setting question . The engine starts and runs fine with the choke 1 click from open . If I open the choke entirely, it dies suddenly. I know that a dirty carb...

    I have a Troy-bilt Storm 2410 that I replaced the carburetor on tonight. When I fired it up it ran for about 10 seconds and died. Pretty sure it is running very lean. Is there adjustments I can make? Maybe it's something else, but I'm starting with that. This 2410 is the "older model 2015" with...

    Howdy Folks, I got down a rabbit hole because I like fixing and hate giving up on things. For skill reference, I have tools, can follow instructions, and generally intelligent though have no wisdom with small engine repair. Neighbor gave me a old 521 (38052, serial 9012033) that lived its life...

    Hello, First post, happy to be here! I'm looking a for a float bowl gasket for model #38755, an 821 RC. The factory diagram shows it as available in a kit along with the float, needle, and other stuff that I don't currently need. I imagine that the float bowl gasket exists in generic form...

    Greetings everyone! Over the summer I decided to upgrade from my 90's Craftsman snowblower and picked up a Ariens 11528LE for what I thought at the time was a really good price. Well long story short it needs more work than I was anticipating but I like to tinker and fix things so he we are...
  6. Honda Snowblowers
    Hi all - after a few weeks of searching this summer/fall, I finally found a nice HS520AS blower for a great price ($60). It's in pretty good condition - paddles are decent, but will probably need a new scraper bar. Previous owner said it had sat in his garage unused for the past 8 years (older...

    Hi! I just bought a 2021 Ariens Deluxe 24" Snow Thrower. In the manual it says that the carb should be adjusted to make the fuel mixture leaner if used above 5000ft elevation. I live in the foot hills of the Colorado Rockies at about 8800ft elevation. The snow blower has been operating...

    Hey all. I have a Craftsman 24" that I bought from Lowes a couple years back. Today I was cleaning the carb, but when I was taking the primer line off, the fitting broke off inside the hose. I'm still able to get the blower started, but there isn't enough fitting left to hold the line on. My...

    Hi all...nice to revisit this great site. I am looking to replace my old carburetor 632107A. But I see many listed on different sites. My model number is 536.886540. There are also many different prices. Would a non-pricey carb be ok to purchase, or a medium pricey, or a high end carb. What...

    Hello everyone, New member here. So I purchased a 05 MTD Yard Machine with a Tecumseh LH358SA-159502Z engine. I noticed the carb was leaking at the bowl so instead of messing with it I replaced the entire carb. After replacing it I primed it and noticed some gas was leaking from the carb...

    I paid a mobile mechanic $60 to fix my Snapper 3201s. He was getting it started but it kept crapping out regardless of the choke. Ultimately, he claimed it was missing a "$3 screw" and that he would buy it and come back the next day. Then it snowed and the shop was closed. Then his mother fell...

    Hello, my question to you all is, I have a 1550 with a continuous rpm carburetor (no throttle) is there a replacement carburetor with a throttle and adjustments?? Thanks Troy D.

    Have never had a problem starting but this year it would not start but would run if i used starter fluid pulled the bowel drain and there was no fuel there, replaced the carb with OEM carburetor now it will start but no rpm regardless of where the throttle is positioned (unless in the off...
