Forgive me if this isn't the appropriate area to post this--I took a shot. I bought an Ariens Deluxe 28 snow thrower 3 years ago. About a year later, while under warranty, it began running poorly. It would start fine, but after a few minutes under load begin acting like it was starving for fuel. I could get it to even out some by partially choking it. I contacted Ariens, and they suggested that they send me a new fuel cap. I was skeptical, but it proved to cure the problem. Now, 2 years later, the problem has recurred. Ariens won't help, as the engine is now out of warranty. I understand you can buy replacement caps in many places for not a lot of money. Does anyone know of a particular type or brand of cap that does not fail every 2 years? I don't understand why this otherwise great machine has this annoying little problem.
