Strikemaster Plug Problem


erikwells

Question

I bought this auger several years ago used. It had a sparkplug in it when I bought it and I have always replaced the plug with what was in it when I bought it. I did this on the assumption that the guy that had it before me used the proper plug. What is the best plug to use for this model? I hate pulling pulling and pulling. Thanks

Most ice augers run at a mix ratio of 24:1. This is the case if it is a 3 or 2 hp Tech. motor. 1 bottle of strikemaster/jiffy smokeless oil should mix with 1 gal of gas. You could use either of these types of oil with either model. I like them because they are smokeless but there are others that will work too. Plugs are important it is possible to go through several in a year. I always have a extra on hand in my Croxton gear bag and then I also carry a set of Carb diaprhams for my model. There is nothing worst then getting to the lake and having an auger that won't start. I have everything along to do an overhaul if need. Since I started carring all of these parts I have never need pretty cheap insurance. Up until I started to carry them I had my share of problems.

Erikwells,
Since your profile says you live in Elk River, just stop in at strikemaster in big lake on highway 10 and they have the spark plug there. I beleive it is a CJ8Y for the 2 HP.
I was up there a few weeks ago and they helped me get the parts needed for my old magnum III

Sounds like the baby needs some TLC. It's only three years old it should run like a dream. Three years isn't old for an auger but it is old for a spark plug. Change the plug and some new properly mixed gas and you shouldn't be pulling all day long. A little maintenance can save you a lot of money and headaches down the road.

Use the Strikemaster Smokeless Oil. And make sure it is mixed exactly to the correct ratio, I believe it is 29:1 (Not sure though) I have a Strikemaster and it is extremely fussy when it comes to the mixture. If it is off just a little bit I have to pull & pull also.
