Ariens 11528 Carburetor Iceing Original Message Dec 15, 2009 11:32 pm
Last summer I purchased a little used 11528, and now after using in 10"-15" fine powder snow -10 to +10F I'm having problems starting when left in an unheated garage. I've noted that the primer does not work and when removing heat shield around carb ice has built up on the carb and choke lever. Its a 11.5 tecumseh OHV engine. I'm sure the carb is not getting enough hot air from engine to keep ice off the carb/choke.Is there a fix for this problem? Once the ice is removed from carb / choke the primer works and engine starts .
