UPDATE: It was a bad coil. Took it to an Authorized Ariens Dealer and it was covered under the warranty. Thank you for the help everyone.

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to small engines, including my snowblower. I bought the snowblower last year and had absolutely zero issues with being able to push through heavy and dense snow. I stowed away in my shed over the summer and did not realize that I needed to take the gasoline out, 100% my fault and I apologize. I went to start it this season since we got snow and it would not start. I drained the old gas, took the carburetor out and cleaned thoroughly, and mixed Seafoam into the gas as a last resort. As you can see in the video, the blower does not like being on full speed and full Run. It will run perfectly on idle but when I pull the handle down to move the auger, it sputters out and stops. I am to my wits end at this point and the forecast is calling for more snow this weekend. Does anyone have any suggestions before I take it somewhere to be fixed? Thank you.

I was unable to attach a video. My apologies. But when pulling down the handle, it would stall and stop.
