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

I was given a very old Ariens, model 932006-001100, engine HS50-67008B-9ER-8172B. I believe it is about 20 years old, but if you can narrow it down using the engine serial number, I am curious. It started and worked 4 years ago, but has just been left to sit in storage since then, and does not start now. I have the repair, owners and parts manuals. I replaced the spark plug, put in fresh gas, and changed out the oil. I confirmed there is a spark on the plug when the rewind starter is pulled, but there was no "catch" in the engine, even when I put a drop of fresh gas in the spark plug hole. I'm a super novice at this, but from reading the other posts it appears the likely culprit is the carb. It looks like I found a rebuild kit that would work, but have never touched a carb in my life. So. . .
Is there a guide somewhere online to rebuilding the carb? Specifically a diagram? There is nothing in the manuals. . .
Is there a chance this is something else that I may have overlooked?
Any help is appreciated. You can't dumb it down too much for me! Thanks.

I have the same Snowblower with the same model #'s. I went to start mine today and it ran ok for a few minutes.  I noticed it was out of gas.  I filled up the tank and started it back up. It stalled out and i noticed it was leaking gas.  The carb is a lauson power products 586 8h 4.  On the left side off the carb there is a small hole that just drains gas out of it.  Any idea what happened?
