  If your Ariens Snow Blower engine won't crank or start, there are several possible causes: * The fuel tank may be empty, so fill it. * The fuel shut-off valve may be closed, so open it. * There might be a buildup of dirt and residue around the governor/carburetor, so clean that area. * The key switch might not be in the run position, so put it in the run position. * The electric starter may not be functioning, so check for a bad starter or connections.
