Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I have an older Ariens blower I received for free. It wouldn't start so I took the carb off and found old gas had gummed it up. I bought a rebuild kit to start with but have never done this before. Where can I get photos of the carb and some details on what to remove and replace? I looked on the Ariens website and found I can't download the manuals there....must be too old. Would the library have a good book that would help?

How can I determine what year this blower is from? The model # is 922024. The engine # is HS50-67008A.

Any help appreciated!
