Nils, Amazing downright outstanding

[croixflats]

Just have to say pulled the Nils out today. Primed it 3 times and the second pull and wa la pops of and goes to a even idle. I know I should have done the seafome thing and emptied the gas out for storage but I didnt and it still started like it was new.

Just saying Nils is not your average auger! Off I go now to fish.

I want to get a new auger this year. And I am stuck on the stikemaster vs nils. I want a light auger as I am sick of lugging around my tank of a jiffy. does that 1.35hp motor have enough power?

[croixflats]

More than enough. I think Nils has the right combination with the power head and the gearing and clutching in the gear box. I can put all my weight on my Nils and it will not bog down and I weigh around 220. I should say you don't need to put any weight on the unit for it to drill fast. The auger does all the work you just keep it from springing a leak in the lake.

Plenty of power, I have never had mine bog yet either. IT's a whole different experience drilling with a Nils, makes you want to go drill holes for anyone.

Burn a tank of gas/oil mixture through it to break it in and you'll be cutting like crazy.

[dudewheresmyboat]

what oil/gas ratio?? Borch it was you that got me into the Nils craze! Thanks again!!!

[muc33]

run it richer than normal on the break in tank. take the bit off and fire it up and let it burn through a tank, going out to it every once in a while and get the rpms up, then back to idle. search Nils and you will see posts about the proper break in rate. It is HIGHLY recomended to do a thourough break in before using to see it's full potential!

Why did you decide to stay with a gas engine auger rather than a rechargeable electric?

You're Welcome. Congrats on a great piece of equipment.

Like Muc said run it richer. I used amsoil Saber and ran it at 50:1. for the first few tanks and then leaned it up a bit.

It will just cut better and better during the first 300 holes before it's totally broken in.

Although this has been the case with every auger I've owned. They just cut better once they get used a bit.

Enjoy!
