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

I just bought a used ariens snowblower yesterday...The guy told me that it was running fine last year and that he used it once this year but that he was not able to start it twice. the motor was turning free by hands so i bought it thinking that it was a carb broblem, I cleaned it completely,replace the needle, verifyed the spark plug to see if it was doing spark and it did...But still wont start... the gas arrive without problem and the spark is there to but it does'nt start. Any suggestions??? (maybe a timing problem ???)

Thanks.

I'm in agreement with newjerseybt  "Make sure flywheel key is not broken which will knock your timing way off."
