    Hi,
    Sounds like it is not choking completely or not getting sufficient fuel flow. It requires extra fuel to crank a cold engine; the colder, the more fuel. It could have course be related to fuel quality since fresh fuel ignites more readily.

My older Ariens ST 824 model # 924-050 has been a real gem! But... yesterday while busting through a big drift of snow, it just kept clogging up. The snow was not really wet and heavy. I checked it out - the auger is turning, the shear pins are fine. I then pulled off the piece that exposes the...
