926 DLE
Original Message   Feb 7, 2005 6:22 am
This unit is NEW used it for about 2 1/2 Hr. Two times while in 1st gear going along it chattered for about 3-4 sec, Then it moved along fine.

Then while I was at the end of the drive w/ 8-10" of snow in 1st gear it stoped moving, The wheel's were not spining it just stoped moving.

I put it to rev. It moved in Rev great, then back to 1st & it went along fine till it did it again.I did the same move Rev went backwards then it was fine again.

I spoke with my dealer he said O just a cable adj. I will send someone to your house to adj it. Well when I got home it was gone. they took it in to make repairs. Just wondering if anyone had this happen to them.

My Dealer seems great he has been in bussiness for a long time My first buy from them, so far GREAT SERVICE.

Don't know yet , Fred, but If he gets a bigger measurement I think that the welder's jig likely slipped. Jonathan

ben , u are 100% correct it "all happens" under the dash.

Jonathan, is there only one gold spring  that holds the lever that catches the piece if steel that the cams push?

I guess it works when the machine is running duty to vibration?

That was my thought also when you said it only worked with a fast slap when running, My guess was you were getting a lil more clearance (help) due to the vibration.  No I am not 100 percent it all happens under the dash.  when I looked last year I was pretty sure it worked all on it's own,  can't see why they would tie it into anything else..  Will try an look this weekend Just not easy to get to now. being we were gonna get long stretch of warm weather, i put it in a shed,  then had to temp store some furniture in front of it.  I have another SB in my garage.   sry picked the wrong one to bury.  or I would have given it a thorough look for u by now.

brent, did u get your machine back? all ok?

Jonathan/ben. 

ok his is the problem .  when the rt handle is squeezed the cam tuns up and the tongue(?) is supposed to fit under the cam.  ( the  engaged tongue should holds the cam up and the handle down.). it misses by maybe 1/16 of an  inch.   jonathan u confirm hat there is only 1 spring holding (pulling) the tongue forward.   I could  grind the cam down a little or grind a little off of the tongue.  the pivot bolt that holds the tongue does not seem to have aby adjustment to it.

measuements  are tough to compare due to nomenclature.  i think that jonathan's measurement of 1 3/4 is 1 7/8 on mine

Solara   Just as a suggestion, being it is new and I think u said u dealer is HD.  You are having some align problems , all from what don know yet.  How about Taking the whole top of your handle off, 4 wing nuts, unscrew  unscrew drive cable down at the adjustment, disconnect shift rod , unplug light and heat grip connections,  not sure how the auger controll cable comes off , wether it is easy or not, hopefully easy,  disconnect the chute crank  and tilt thingy.  Actually all that should not take long  (Dun know bout the augel cable though)..   call up the dealer ahead of time and see if that is ok with him as you can take it into him  and if it is a parts warranty prob,  he can get you the parts or new shift mech etc.  rather than having to get to a dealer later and 

clouding the issue with you altering something.  (minor alteration, n/p)  but sounds you got two problems,  maybe caused by one thing,  but grinding down a locking tab  for the interlock will prob not solve the selector going into 6th gear even with the shift rod  completly disconnected from it

Just a thought

I hope these issues are being brought to the attention of Ariens.  If you keep them to yourself and simply try to fix the issue on your own, you won't be accomplishing anything for the next production year.  Nothing wrong with improving on your snowblower design, but at least keep them in the loop.  If enough people give the manufacturers enough feedback, whether good or bad, it'll send the correct message to them and keep them on their toes.

ben that's not a bad idea,,, but i do not think a sdealer would be pleased. my guess is that they will want to see the machine.

richie, i have not contacted ariens as yet.


BTW, i think the thing works when it is running beccause there is a little play in he cam and when it is runnning the vibration moves the cam and allows it to catch.

don't ask them on the phone  if they are close  go in and run it past them, then say could I just bring you in the handle for you to look at,  if he says ok, your in.  if not satisfied there e-mail Ariens,  They will give you clearence or not.  Also the dealer would be a sh@t  not to take a look at something you can put right in front of his nose on the counter.  He has a chance to help a customer out from his  rocking chair.  (could be worth a stop to get a feel)

Solara,

I agree with the others that are advising you to get the machine to a dealer. Based on your measurement and your observation with the cam there does appear to be a defect with the dash assembly. I think you should have it corrected under warranty rather than trying to fix it your self, at least that's what I'd do.
