thanks for creating the hyperlinks!!
How come it wouldn't let me do it? I tried numerous times and finally gave up.
<edit>
I figured it out! :-)

Awesome job.
Looks like a pair of car headlights.
Thanks for the diagram and videos.
Tell us about the long deflector.
thanks! I added the deflector to help control the fluffy snow. It actually does a pretty decent job of it.

I just did an LED upgrade to my Pro 32 as well. I used all 10W CREE LED's. I used two -FLOOD- and two -SPOT-. My blower only has an AC power source, so I used a -BRIDGE RECTIFIER- to convert it to DC so the LED's wouldn't flicker from the AC current. I then used 2 - 2200mfd / 50V smoothing capacitors on the DC side to help clean up and stabilize the DC voltage. I have it wired up with a SPDT switch which allows me to use my stock headlight OR my LED's. I have both left and right DC lines fused with 2A fuses and also have the main AC line to the rectifier fused with a single 2A fuse. I'm running 4 - 10 watt CREE LED's and they are consuming less than 2 amps total. I have attached the wiring diagram below. The switch and fuses are not shown. I also have two video links posted below showing them during the day and at night.  -HERE- is a video showing them during the day. -HERE- is a video showing them at night comparing them to my stock light bulb. The stock one is first....you'll know when I turn on the LED's. |

Re: VIDEO: Briggs 2100 Series found on Ariens. Question about engine noise inside.....

Thanks guys. I contacted the local dealer and he says it's normal. I also found a YouTube video of an identical motor on a Ariens Pro 28 and it made the same noise. Valve lash specs for this motor are 0.005"-0.007" for intake and exhaust. Both are currently adjusted to 0.005". See link below: http://youtu.be/JndnPWr3LV0?t=19s |

Hi guys, first time poster.I just recently purchased a new Ariens Professional 32 snowblower. It has the 420cc Briggs 2100 Professional Series engine (25M137-0110-F1) on it. It seems to run and start great. I only have one concern, it seems a bit loud at idle.... especially when the motor is cold and not warmed up. I attached a YouTube video, could you guys take a listen and tell me what you think. It sounds like it has some piston slap....which may be completely normal, but wanted to get some opinions. If you compare what it sounds like in the beginning of the video to at the end, it sounds like it may get a bit quieter when it warms up. Take a listen and let me know what ya think.
