Needle valve stuck. Hit the carb with the handle of a screw driver or similar instrument.

Well, have fun getting it running, and let it sit because once you do you won't get any snow
I took my snow blower in for service in Nov. and I just used it once last week.

I rebuilt the carb on my similar ariens. Never did it before. Just followed an exploded view. Ran great. Much easier than I thought.

not runing on its own. only starts on starter fluid. Seems to be flooding out quick but no amount of adjust the bowl/ side adjustment will remedy it.

If it's flooding, the float is likely sunk or the needle is jammed open.

We have had an Ariens for the last 12 years or so. Ashamed to admit that it's never been serviced, but it certainly doesn't seem to need to be.
This summer I plan to give it a real nice once over.
