Re: old ariens blower help needed

Well I put the carb back in and added a fuel shut off and filter. I got fuel to the carb and then saw the bowl leaking. It was coming from the drain on the bottom. I took the bowl off and saw a defect in the metal next to the drain screw. I will have to take it back for a new one.....just my luck as it was a new bowl.

I was able to get the fuel to slow to a drip, drip and gave a pull on the start cord. Nothing after several pulls. I checked the plug and it is getting spark. I don't smell gas on the plug or in the cylinder though. Any suggestions on what to try next? I turned both screws on the carb all the way in and then backed them off 1.5 turns out.

I also found the bottom of the on/off keyed switch broken. The wires are attached to a small "circuit like board" under the key assembly. This "board" came off and won't reattach. Would this cause the motor to not start....making it think it's in the off position? I don't think this is the case as there is spark to the plug but any other opinions?

Thanks in advance.

I have the model #922024 but when I put this in the website, it says it is not available for download. I was able to rebuild the carb with new needles, float, o-rings, bowel, etc. from a kit. I also am putting on new fuel line and in-line fuel filter. Getting the welch plugs out and putting the new ones in was a bit of a challenge but I did it. I slowely drilled a hole in the plug and then threaded a fine thread machine screw into the hole. I then was able to pull the plug out. I was not so lucky on the smaller plug but gently pried it out with a small screw driver. I soaked the whole carb in carb cleaner over night and it turned out very clean.

Tomorrow I will put the carb back on and see if it will fire up. Thanks for the advice.

I am not able to download the manual from Ariens. I will try the Tecumseh site for an engine manual. I have found that my blower is probably from 1975.

Thanks for the information.

After searching this site, I found the Tec service manual link in an old post. This should get me going for awhile. So, I guess I answered my own question but anyone who has words of wisdom I am greatful.

I have an older Ariens blower I received for free. It wouldn't start so I took the carb off and found old gas had gummed it up. I bought a rebuild kit to start with but have never done this before. Where can I get photos of the carb and some details on what to remove and replace? I looked on the Ariens website and found I can't download the manuals there....must be too old. Would the library have a good book that would help?

How can I determine what year this blower is from? The model # is 922024. The engine # is HS50-67008A.

Any help appreciated!
