Why Ariens Snow Blower engine will not start?

  sanfordloganAug 21, 2025
  Your Ariens Snow Blower engine might not start due to several reasons: the engine key is in the stop position (turn it to the run position), the choke is off (move the choke control lever to the on position), the fuel valve is closed (open the valve), the fuel tank is empty (fill the tank with fuel), the spark plug wire is disconnected (connect the spark plug), the spark plug is faulty (replace the spark plug), there is excessive fuel in the engine cylinder (turn the choke control knob to the off position and reattempt starting). Other potential issues could be a non-functioning ignition switch starter circuit, a buildup of dirt and residue around the governor/carburetor or a faulty engine.

  If your Ariens Snow Blower engine starts hard or runs poorly, it could be because the fuel mixture is too rich; move the choke control lever to the off position. Another reason could be a faulty, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plug. The fuel cap vent might be blocked, so install a new fuel cap.

  If your Ariens Snow Blower unit sweeps poorly, it might be because the attachment clutch is not adjusted properly, so adjust the attachment clutch. Debris might be caught in the brush, so stop the engine, wait for moving parts to stop and for hot parts to cool, and then remove the obstruction before restarting.

  If your Ariens Snow Blower does not drive forward or in reverse, it could be that the friction disc is worn and needs replacement. Another cause could be that the traction drive cable is not adjusted correctly; remove slack from the cable. The traction belt might not be functioning and needs repair or replacement. The speed selector might not be adjusted correctly; adjust the speed selector.

  If your Ariens Snow Blower engine stops, it could be due to several reasons. The fuel tank might be empty, so fill it with fuel. The fuel valve might be closed, so open it. There might be an obstruction in the brush, so stop the engine, wait for moving parts to stop and for hot parts to cool, then remove the obstruction before restarting. The fuel supply could be contaminated, so replace it with clean fuel. The spark plug might be faulty, so replace or clean it. Also, the fuel cap vent might be blocked, so install a new fuel cap.

  If the caster wheels on your Ariens Snow Blower do not pivot as designed, it could be due to debris in the casters, so clean the debris from the casters. It could also be due to excessive friction in the casters, so lubricate them.

Why won't my Ariens Steam Cleaner engine start?
- B
  Brandon BrownAug 31, 2025
  If your Ariens Steam Cleaner engine won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the engine switch is in the 'run' position. Next, check that the choke is on and the fuel valve is open. Also, verify that the fuel tank isn't empty. If these steps don't work, and if you have an electric start, the ignition switch starter circuit may not be functioning, and you should consult your Ariens dealer. Other potential issues include a disconnected spark plug wire (connect it), a faulty spark plug (replace it), or excessive fuel in the engine cylinder (turn the choke control knob to the off position and reattempt starting). If the problem persists, the engine itself may be faulty, requiring attention from your Ariens dealer or an authorized engine manufacturer’s service center.

Why does my Ariens Steam Cleaner engine keep stopping?
- D
  Dylan MartinSep 2, 2025
  If your Ariens Steam Cleaner engine stops, it might be due to a few reasons. Check if the fuel tank is empty and refill it if needed. Ensure the fuel valve is open. If there's an obstruction in the brush, stop the engine, wait for all moving and hot parts to cool down, and then remove the obstruction before restarting. Also, the fuel supply might be contaminated, so replace it with clean fuel. Finally, inspect the spark plug and replace or clean it as necessary. Another cause could be a blocked fuel cap vent, so try installing a new fuel cap.

  If your Ariens Steam Cleaner engine starts hard or runs poorly, the fuel mixture might be too rich; move the choke control lever to the off position. Another cause could be a faulty, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plug; clean and correctly set the spark plug gap. Alternatively, the fuel cap vent might be blocked; try installing a new fuel cap.
