8 hp Arien's snowblower backfires.
Original Message Dec 14, 2007 6:37 am

I have an over 25 year old Ariens snow blower that I let a friend tune up :-(( Last night was the first storm I used it on and it started great but seemed weaker that it was when I started to throw snow. After it warmed up a little it started to backfire then got real bad as it warmed up more. I could see flames shooting out the exhaust. Any ideas what I need to adjust. I assume it is running to rich but I don't want to make it worse. Any thoughts.

Thanks Ivan
