Ariens 1130 DLE starter mod
#1   Sep 18, 2009 3:48 pm
I have the above and would like to be able to start the engine anywhere I am electronically.

I would like to add a battery to the rig, and an  DC->AC inverter so I would be able to use the existing 120volt starter. I would like to know how much juice this starter pulls.

amps, watts,...

OR

is there a Direct fit 12volt starter?

Also, since i have a light on my blower, this means that the endine has an alternator of some sort. Can I use this to charge my onboard battery as it seems to have a car 12v light bulb running on it. Hey what can I say, I have nothing to do at home...

Thx

Oh sorry, my meaning of "stall" is incorrect. I thought stall was when an engine's RPM drops a lot and sounds like it will shut off but doesn't.

My engine never stalled on extreem load. It just would drop in rpm because I was not being kind to the blower. I run the blower in second gear, sometimes first and the snow is as high as the bucket and the whole width of the bucket. Sometimes it is hard and icey and sometimes it is slushy, i just attck it like a madman. I think I am pushing the 11HP a little to much. I have no clue, I never had a snow blower before.

Ok I will set the idle at 3620 and take it easier on my new blower. The engine has 15 hours of use on it and has ran great.  

Is there any mod I can do to get a little more torque out of it...a performance muffler, a diferent jet size, anything would help? I am running 94 octane fuel in  it. Wish I could have the 13 HP on my Ariens...

Thx and forgive my bad terminology.

Hi all.

I just adjusted the rpm on my motor because it was running a little to low this winter. 3580 at idle and would drop to 34xx if I remeber correctly.
Today I ran the engine and set it for 3690-3700 this way it will be in the 3500's and have that little extra bit to keep it from wanting to stall like it did this winter when under load. Is this set corectly?
