  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.

  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.

  If your Ariens Snow Blower engine stops, there could be several reasons. You might be out of fuel, so fill the fuel tank. The fuel shut-off valve might be closed, so open it. There could be a mechanical jam in the blower rake or impeller; if so, turn off the engine, remove the key, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove any obstruction before restarting.

  The small rubber beads collecting in the frame of your Ariens Snow Blower are likely due to normal friction disc wear. However, if you notice chunks or large pieces of rubber, the friction disc should be checked and replaced if necessary.
