How to fix Ariens 936085 Tractor that will not start?
- JJames BrooksAug 20, 2025
If your Ariens Tractor won't start, several factors could be the cause. You might be out of fuel, so start by filling the fuel tank. The engine may not be choked properly; refer to the “TO START ENGINE” section in your manual. It's also possible the engine is flooded; if so, wait a few minutes before trying again. Other potential issues include a bad spark plug (replace it), a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), a dirty fuel filter (replace it), or water in the fuel (empty the tank and carburetor, refill with fresh gasoline, and replace the fuel filter). Also, check for loose or damaged wiring. If none of these steps work, the engine valves may be out of adjustment, requiring you to contact an authorized service center.
