Auger quits

[Ron Burgundy]

My Eskimo Mako won't run for more than a few seconds. Condensation is my guess. If I change the fuel will my problem go away?

Check your fuel line to be sure it is on tight, also check for cracks in the line.

Good idea. Will do. Thanks

Fresh fuel is a good start.

Check the fuel lines and that the carb is not loose.

It is common for the diaphragms to become (for a better word) dry during storage.

Since your engine runs for a short time I'll assume your using the choke to start.

Continue with full, partial, and no choke after it starts to keep it running.

If after doing so repeatedly the auger still quits then I'd clean the carb and install a kit.

Also check the condition of the primer bulb make sure it is not cracked.

Wow! Gas line broke off in tank. No idea how.

Common for Eskimos.
