EFI snow blower engine
The new Ariens AX EZ-Launch engine utilizes electronic fuel injection technology, enabling the company’s Sno-Thro lineup of snow blowers to start in extreme weather conditions. The EFI engine starts in two simple steps, versus six steps with a traditional carbureted engine. All that the user needs to do is turn the key and pull the recoil cord (or use the electric start). The engine’s system uses an electronic governor, which virtually eliminates speed loss and delivers consistent throwing performance along with an ultra-quiet idle.
