NilsMaster Auger Parts

[dodger31]

I need a throttle cable for my NilsMaster. It is about 5 years old now and I keep having a problem each year with the throttle cable getting moisture in it. It happens where it attaches to the powerhead because there is no cover to keep out the elements.

My local small engine guy cannot get parts and I am wondering if anyone on HSO has had luck finding parts. Or should i try going straight to Tanaka/Hitachi?

Thanks for any help you can give!

I ordered a vent assy for mine, found the part online by going to tanaka , got the part ordered by a marine place in robbinsdale. On their HSOforum they give a list of dealers that can order from them or I beleave u can order online. They have the parts and owners manual online.

SFC,

Just wondering if you know the model # of the Tanaka engine the NilsMaster uses? There are a lot of models on the Tanaka site.

Thanks

The site is tanaka-usa.com Click on parts central then click on drills.

I would look on the drill for your model.

Nils master auger parts......don't see those words together very often.

It says model # on your motor. My guess is a TED262, you will also need the serial # to get the right production year, that is usually a letter with a six digit # following EX:W123456.

The TED270 was new model 3 years ago. Similar to the 262 but has a longer intake runner, little bigger cc's, and a catalytic convertor of sorts. I'm sure there other changes but those are of the top of my head.

Any Tanaka Service Center should be able to get you the part. Give them the model #.

About the throttle cable. If you bring it in a warm place and let it thaw, then use rubbing alcohol in a syringe and squirt that into the cable you should be good to go. When I use my auger in the carrier on sled or on top my Otter I'll put a cover over the power head. An old nylon stuff works.

Good Luck.

I just checked and there are 13 places to get parts in the Minneapolis area. The first on the list was Robbinsdale Marine.

Frank,

You just sharpened two blades for me a few weeks ago. They are awesome! Thanks for that!

Unfortunately there are no NilsMaster authorized dealers or service centers in Northern WI where I live. The place I took my auger was supposed to be "authorized" and they had no clue what i was talking about.

I will pick it up today and get the model and serial # and do this myself. I guess trying to support your local businesses doesn't always work.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Can always count on this site for good information.

Thanks,

You'll need a Tanaka service center for a replacement throttle cable.

If it just has moisture in it do the alcohol thing.
