Ariens 9HP pro model stalling out and hard to re-start/keep running
Original Message Feb 9, 2013 4:56 pm

I have a 9hp Ariens snow blower that luckily made it through the bulk of the blizzard before stalling out. It was difficult to re-start and the only way i could do it was to re-prime the machine. It was running rough all day and the gas is new. It kept sounding like is was needing fuel. Normally I just give it one pull during a storm to re-start. Never any re-priming needed. I'm thinking it could be a possible frozen fuel line, but I really have no idea. The machine is about 7 years old. Anyone have any thoughts on what this could be?

Try it with the gas cap a tad loose, could be clogged/blocked vent.
