I always let mine run rich at idle but that may be wrong. I also replace the spark plug avery year.(I keep the old one as a backup) Is it kicking out a lot of smoke on start up? If not I would not worry.

It could be a combination of things. Too rich and not the best oil. Use a synthetic two stroke oil as the cheaper ones smoke like a banshee.

I find the Stihl oil works great and it has a fuel stabilizer in it as well so double benefit.

The newer models require 40:1 ratio, the older ones with the Tecumseh motor I think were in the 32:1 range if memory serves. It is probably best to dump the gas and mix fresh if you are not sure, but dont put it in your car. I run it in lawn mowers or my garden tractor without problems but it might mess up your sensors in your car.

I started my auger up the other day and let it run for a while. I noticed after a while there was oil coming out the exhaust, is there a seal or is it runnig to rich? Any input would be great.

Go to the S/M web site. They just posted something about this issue on their New new's letter this month. wink

good 2 cycle synthetic oil, and i run mine at 40 to 1 with no problems at all. get a GOOD spark plug they are worth it, makes a quite a difference in performance. mine dont have a high or low jet setting but u may need to lean your high out a touch. i would start with a plug and fresh gas and oil mix

Whats your mix at?? Solo 50:1 anthing older up to 100:1. Personaly I run 80:1
Wow, not sure I would run mine that lean, but more power to you. The Solo is supposed to be 40:1 and the older ones were richer yet like 32:1.

I'd be very careful with those ratios. Not recommended with cold temps that is for sure. Kaboom!

Been running Amsoil Saber Professional 100:1 oil mixed at 80:1 to 100:1 for 15 years in every 2 stroke I own and have had nothing happen other than everything starts and runs much better. I got tired of having five gas cans with a different mix in each one.

Definitely agreed on the multiple cans, but I usually mix mine somewhere in between what they all call for and just use it in everything.

Still seems risky to me, but if you have done it with success great. I think it definitely makes a difference that you are using a quality synthetic.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
