    Didn't even think about that rubber could fray off into the inlet on the carb, but will definitely keep you guys posted & sgkent ya carb ran fine for about a day & ever since its not started so assuming its not receiving gas. Its getting gas to the filter just not engine😂 will keep you all updated

    No sir, it took me forever to figure out it wasn't the same engine as was made for the mower. But this is the one, starting fluid worked, I called the shop & they picked it up for a 3rd time lol. They said somehow its not getting fuel and will check for blocks I mean. I could do it but they...

    I honestly didn't see him ask that but okay, just be rude & say shit that makes no sense to someone who wouldn't ever get your reference. You never had to hop on with sarcastic things to begin with. If you don't want to help but its a 2004 Ariens Zoom34 with a Kohler Command 14hp engine from a...

    What kinda smart ass waste of time answer was this. Could have stayed out of it if you didn't have anything helpful to say.

    New carb, plug, fuel filter, etc. Wont start now?

    So I had a new plug in it but when I put the carb onto it, it got fouled probably from faulty carb that was leaking the couple weeks prior. Found it all black/sooty. Got new plug in. Well see once i get battery juiced back up

    I had work done & I replaced plug, belt, fuel filter, carb etc. I was having level cut issues, and when the shop brought it back after that & popping the new carb on for me, it started right up & is level. Fast forward 2 days, it got warmer out but not hot, put it on choke as usual. Started for...

    New carb, plug, fuel filter, etc. Wont start now?

    I had the issue with the non level deck. New carb put on & it started etc fine before the new carb. Now when I put the choke on, it starts for not even 1/2 second & dies. I want to call & see but I'm getting frustrated at this point. It sounds like its not getting fuel now almost & everything is...

    Uneven deck Ariens Zoom34

    ANSWER!!! so the shop had to bend the front right bracket backwards with a bar and some other stuff. The left one forward, & my left spindle was bent. So he bent it & put me a couple washes in it. Blades match in the middle. Its still wet, they claim they did a test cut & power washed it. Saw...

    Uneven deck Ariens Zoom34

    So I figured I believe the left spindle is bent. Finally! I kept measuring outside of blades vertically & horizontally blaming the deck. I met the two in the middle & left one sits lower. When I sharpened the blades it was flat so its gotta be my spindle! I'm 99% sure. Just updating you guys, I...
