My Ariens 824 doesn't throw far -- what gives?

Hi All,
Let's me first start by saying I'm a moron, who is only minimally mechanically inclined. I can handle basic repair jobs, but please use small words in your suggestions to me.
That being said, I purchased a used Ariens 824 this past month. It's got a bit of rust but the things starts on the first pull, and the gear systems seem to be in fine working order. However, I had the chance to use it for the first time this week (we finally got snow) and while it does pick up and throw the snow, it only throws it a few feet. So it ends up having to rethrow the very snow I blew from the driveway a few feet over. I know enough about machines like this to realize that something is definitely not right here. Especially when I hear some of you folks talk about this machine throwing 40' !!
Can any of you offer suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks!
