'05 Ariens 11258LE cuts out!
Original Message Dec 7, 2005 6:22 am

We had our first snow last night. This morning, while blowing the driveway the unit just started cutting out, just like it was out of fuel. It cut out 3-4 times. I waited a couple of minutes and it would start again, run for a couple more minutes then die again! The gas was on. Very frustrating!

I wouldn't be so miffed had I not done everything to winterize the unit: changed the oil, put in fresh stabilized fuel, topped up the fuel tank , greased and oiled all the components etc. This machine only has about 10 hrs service on it as I bought it new last year. Anyone with any insights as to what's causing this?
