Engine cranks, but difficult to start it

Hello Guys,

My two year old Ariens Classic cranks when I attempt to start it but takes several pulls to get it running. It can take me up to 15 minutes to get it to start at times – how do I resolve this problem?

Hello Larry,

If your trying to mow in colder conditions, it’s possible that your carburetor needs to be adjusted to increase the air fuel mixture – try to increase the dial to the ½ setting or higher. Check the engine valves also for any damage. Damaged wiring can also make to harder to start your engine.
