Why won't my Ariens 920013 Snow Blower engine crank or start?

  Ian SandovalAug 13, 2025
  Your Ariens Snow Blower might not crank or start due to several reasons: * The fuel tank could be empty, in which case you should fill it. * The fuel shut-off valve might be closed; open it. * There might be a buildup of dirt and residue around the governor/carburetor; clean this area. * The key switch may not be in the run position; put it in the run position. * The electric starter could be malfunctioning; check the starter and its connections.

  If your Ariens Snow Blower isn't throwing snow, here's what might be happening: * The shear bolts may be broken; replace them. * The attachment clutch/brake might not be adjusted properly; adjust it. * The auger could be frozen in place; move the unit to a warm place to thaw it. * Ice or debris might be obstructing the auger; with the engine off and auger disengaged, check for and remove any obstructions. * The attachment drive belt might be slipping, worn, or damaged; adjust or replace it.

  Your Ariens Snow Blower engine might not start due to several reasons. The fuel tank could be empty, so fill it up. The fuel shut-off valve might be closed, so open it. There might be dirt and residue around the governor/carburetor, so clean the area. The key switch might not be in the run position, so put it in the run position. Finally, the electric starter might not be functioning, so check for a bad starter or connections.

  John CarpenterAug 26, 2025
  If your Ariens Snow Blower isn't throwing snow well, check a few things. First, shear bolts might be broken. Also, the auger might be frozen in place, so move the unit to a warm place to thaw it. Ice or debris might be obstructing the auger; with the engine off and auger disengaged, check for obstructions and remove them. Another cause can be that the attachment drive belt is slipping, worn, or damaged.

  Debra AlexanderSep 1, 2025
  If your Ariens Snow Blower engine stops, consider the following: * Check if you're out of fuel and fill the tank if needed. * Ensure the fuel shut-off valve is open. * Look for any mechanical jams in the blower rake or impeller. If there's an obstruction, turn off the engine, remove the key, wait for all moving parts to stop, and then remove the obstruction before restarting. * The fuel supply might be polluted; replace it with clean fuel. * The spark plug could be faulty; replace or clean it. * The fuel cap vent might be plugged; replace the fuel cap.
