magnum 111 49cc

[Lost Cause]

anyone have any experience with this model? have the opportunity to get one for $50 it starts just needs a good carb cleanin. is it worth the time/money or no? seems like a steal for such an easy fix.

I would say go for it. That's the price of a hand auger. I just used one that my dad took home from the cabin with new blades. It cut pretty well, its probably 15 or so years old too.

GET IT!!!

I have that exact auger and it is awesome! My dad got a Solo last year and just offered to GIVE me his 4 or 5 year old Lazer Mag and then he would sell my Mag III. I refused. The Mag III is super light, starts every time, and is just an all around great auger. The thing must be 15 or 20 years old.

It won't win any races, but with a sharp pair of blades on the thing, it cuts like butter. Mine does have the lazer blade on it rather than the chipper. If you don't like it, sell it for $100.00 on that online classified site.

good auger. I took mine up to Strikemaster in Big Lake and got it all fixed up. You can pick up a scratched Laser Bit for cheap there as well. I picked up a 6" laser bit for late season panfishing, a new gas tank strap, gas cap and fuel line installed for like $85 last winter.

That is a good deal.

50 bucks is a good deal, even if it didd'nt run. A good running auger is easily worth 150 bucks.

I have the same auger I bought it 24 yrs ago at the end of the season close out for $160. I had to put it on a credit card, man I thought that was alot of money back then. I would not trade it for a new one. I have used it to dig in fence posts in the summer, I just put the old chipper blade on it and let rr buck. I put a 10" Lazer drill on it a few years back and it cuts ice like butter. I would go for it they don't make them like that any more.

if you don't buy it please email me with who has it and a way to contact them. I would gladly pay that even if it didn't run. I run one that is a 1991 model and I wouldn't trade it for nothing. the one big thing I like about it is the fact that it has a all metal handle not the plastic composites of today.

almost forgot since you are in waite park you could take it to strikemaster in big lake and they would go over it completely and rebuild the carb and check everything else out that could possible be wrong with it if anything is. I know if I bought one like this I would take it to them to be checked out.

My dad runs one and only needed a carb kit a couple years ago... He bought it used for 100 years ago. Do it!

That is a great price. I bought a SM Mag III 20 some years ago and still have it.

I use my Nils but keep the old SM maintained and ready at a moments notice.

You can get the carb kit off SM site or any SM service center.
