Re: 1130SE Dual Stage Snowthrower keeps stalling

I've heard of folks taking it back to the dealer for a carb overhaul and blaming the problem on old gas. Most of the time it's not the gas. Take apart the gas cap and figure out how the gas cap lets air into the gas tank. There are many different designs so just take it apart and figure out why air is not getting to the gas tank. I have an Ariens 1130 DLE and it's a great machine. Same type problem you have and I just took apart the gas cap and dried out the foam insert which was icing up. My Ariens machine uses a rubber washer and a small piece of foam to let air into the gas tank. Once the foam piece is wet and icy it blocks all air from the gas tank and doesn't allow gravity to do its work in letting gas flow to the carb.
