	|  | Ariens Sno Thro Won't Start Original Message   Oct 3, 2006 4:40 pm

I was given a very old Ariens, model 932006-001100, engine HS50-67008B-9ER-8172B.  I believe it is about 20 years old, but if you can narrow it down using the engine serial number, I am curious.  It started and worked 4 years ago, but has just been left to sit in storage since then, and does not start now.  I have the repair, owners and parts manuals.  I replaced the spark plug, put in fresh gas, and changed out the oil.  I confirmed there is a spark on the plug when the rewind starter is pulled, but there was no "catch" in the engine, even when I put a drop of fresh gas in the spark plug hole.  I'm a super novice at this, but from reading the other posts it appears the likely culprit is the carb. It looks like I found a rebuild kit that would work, but have never touched a carb in my life. So. . .Is there a guide somewhere online to rebuilding the carb?  Specifically a diagram?  There is nothing in the manuals. . .
 Is there a chance this is something else that I may have overlooked?
 Any help is appreciated.  You can't dumb it down too much for me!  Thanks.
