I bought this u unit 4 years ago and when I couldn’t get power to my spark plug and tried to get the part I was told I had to get a whole new power head which is the same price as a new unit! Worked good while it ran though but u better hope parts don’t fail

Low end and I knew that but unreliable
8 years ago
It ran very well the first year had no problems opening holes I took all the proper precautions to stored properly drain the fuel out of it always use number 1 fuel in it. Second year I had to put a new carburetor in it. This is would have been my third year and it runs fantastic when it's warm but it absolutely won't start when it's cold our local mechanic is mystified
No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: Just purchased your 43 cc Nitro ice auger and was reading the instructions and noticed that there is no gas cap screw vent. ???
Noticed also that in the picture it has the gas cap screw but the auger does not have this screw. How do you then vent the gas?

Q: Does this auger come with the recommended fuel stabilizer oil?
7 years ago
1 Answer
A: The vendor recommends using “VIPER” brand 2-cycle oil (P/N 300400) to ensure that the engine operates correctly throughout the life of the engine. “VIPER” brand 2-cycle oil has fuel
stabilizer additive which helps to prevent gasoline from oxidizing and gumming up the carburetor when the unit is not in use for long periods of time. Use unleaded regular gas only. It is best to use
premium gasoline that has no ethanol content.
