"  We&amp;#039;re expecting lots of snow this month, so I figured I&amp;#039;d pull my blower out of storage early to make sure it started. It didn&amp;#039;t, even though it worked fine last winter. What&amp;#039;s wrong? You&amp;#039;re not the only one struggling to start up your blower. In fact, outdoor-power-equipment manufacturer Ariens Company of Brillion, Wis., receives about 8000 calls a month this time of year from customers who can&amp;#039;t start their machines. &amp;quot;The key to an easy start is putting the machine into storage properly,&amp;quot; says Ariens&amp;#039;s product support manager, Dave Miller. That means storing it at the end of the season with the fuel tank full of fresh, stabilized gasoline.   Whether you did that or not, now is the time to give the engine a tuneup: Change the gear and crankcase oil, grease the fittings, check the tire pressure, and change the spark plug. It&amp;#039;s also worth reviewing the proper start sequence, Miller says. The choke should be closed, the ignition switch on, the fuel valve open, and the carburetor primed. &amp;quot;If the machine starts but stumbles, don&amp;#039;t turn it off,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Run it out.&amp;quot; This burns off stale gas and helps the engine pull in fresh fuel.
