The engine has nothing to do with it being an Ariens made in the USA. Arien's blowers themselves, with the ole Tecumseh snow king engines are snow-dozers. Unfortunately since Tecumseh no longer supplies any of these manufacturer's such as Ariens, Craftsman, Toro, etc... So they've reverted to sourcing engines from other manufacturers, and they just aren't as good at snow/winter hard work.
My Arien's (an ST724) is about 20 years old and is a bulldozer. Starts every year first pull and will take down mountains of frozen muck (it has many times) and ask, "is that all you got son?". Why? Tecumseh Snow-king.
The little Crapsman exactly like Carter's above, that my in-laws gave me this past spring, except it's on tracks, bulldozed through foot tall drifts at the other house tonight. It too... Tecumseh Snow King.
damn those lawn boys
Am I the only one that thinks it’s a bigger pain in the ass to plug the electric start in than it is to just pull start a snowblower?
If you’re up on your maintenance there’s no reason it shouldn’t start after a few pulls

some of those older snowblowers, you can just make a battery mount and add a 12 bolt starter!
we did that to a old old deere blower like 2 years ago.
for the price of aftermarket parts these days it's hardly worth buying a kit to do a carb rebuild. I advise just buying a Chinese carb off of Amazon or eBay for your application. You may have to replace it every couple years but it's far cheaper than doing the rebuilds.daturbosix Do you guys do carb cleanup/swaps on snowblowers?

My uncle when he was alive had a home remodeling biz. When I was a garbage man and would get laid off in the winters I would go work with him for cash. He did a ton of insurance work. Anyway, we did an insurance job on a multi million dollar house in Barrington Shores iirc that had their basement flood. Not only did they have that on their driveway, but they had a HUGE patio that had it as well. This was like 20yrs ago lol. I understood the driveway to an extent, but not the patio.People across the street have that. Our friend that’s in high end landscaping sales says it’s. $50K driveway without the heat. Seems like a weird thing to spend money on.
