Ariens snow thrower not throwing snow very far.
Original Message   Mar 8, 2007 1:37 pm
Hi,

I have an Ariens snow thrower that starts fine. Engine seems to run
fine but the snow thrower is not able to throw snow out of the shoot
very far. Max 1 feet. The Auger blades are spinning so that snow is
being collected. The impeller/fan is also spinning (I think that's
what it's called) but the snow is not being tossed out of the shoot
very far.

The make is Ariens

Model is 922008

Engine Make is a Tecsumshe

Engine Model is HS50 67008

Any suggestions as to where to start looking?

Thanks.

I don't think that the auger case should be moving. That could have something to do with the belt tearing up. Someone with more experience than I with tearing down machines can probably tell you what to look at next.
