Engine making clicking sound when trying to start

Hi Guys,

My Ariens Zoom model is just about 3 years old now, and it’s been running like a charm – I service it regularly. However, the engine stopped working last week and makes an odd clicking noise when I try to fire it up. Any ideas what’s causing this?

Hey Armin,

It sounds like there’s an issue with your battery, based on what you described especially the sound – check the terminals of your battery for corrosion and clean them. If this doesn’t work, try recharging the battery or replacing it with a new one.
