Hello all. I picked up another snowblower at the beginning of this season. It is a Ariens 7hp 30" cut w/ the H70 engine. I had a hard time pull starting it. It would pull nice and smooth, and then very hard like binding. I could pull up, and if it binded, I would lift the maching right off of the ground pulling the cord (and destroying my shoulder). I bought an electric start, but it just engages and then gets stuck and trips out my 2000 watt generator. I could start my 5 hp Ariens off the generator and also a 750 watt inverter hooked up to the car battery. BTW, I have no electricity in the garage I rent, so that is why the generator comes into play.
For the hard pulling, any ideas? Once it is running, it runs great. I will probably opt for a replacement intek from small engine warehouse if it is something major, but I hate to do that if it is something silly.
You guys seem to have quite an information database going on here, so I figured I would ask. Thanks,
