Linda in either tech service or customer service. I used the number from the owners manual. I am looking back at the approximate time I made the call on my cell phone and the number appears to be 1-800-344-0712. Hope that works for you. You will need the serial number off of the powerhead of your auger.

BassKnuckles- you most likely have a crack in your gas line. They have a replacement gas line that is suppose to be less prone to breaking because it replaces an aluminum line with a stainless line. When mine cracked last year I called Linda and was shipped the new gas line free of charge.

I've noticed they have gotten rid of the small gas line that comes off the regulator all together and now have a fitting attatching the carb directly to the regulator. I also noticed they moved the fill spout for the oil on the new augers.

Other then breaking the small aluminum gas line last year I absolutely love the auger and after seeing the changes Jiffy has made to the auger from the very first ones I would highly recommend this auger.

I also counted how many holes I drilled one day in close to 2 feet of ice on one tank, 148 holes and I have never once had it bind at the end of the hole and it just rips through the ice. I noticed it doesn't like starting when it's sub zero but found out if you hold the throttle in it will start first pull in sub zero temps even if the tank is cold.

Well I have to say I contacted them yesterday and talked to a guy named Tom. Today I received a replacement head and I placed my old one in the box to be shipped back. The new one fired right up with no issues. Tom was super helpful and hell yes it was great to get a new auger head the next day after talking to him.

my brother bought a 10 inch last year.i was very impressed by it.we left it outside with the propane tank not hooked up cause they say disconnect the tank when not in use.the temp out side was -15.the next morning connected the tank and 3 pulls it fired up and drilled holes with out a beat.we got 28 holes thats including redrilling about 10 of the 28.it redrills holes without a problem.so i bought a 10 inch aty the icefishing show and love it.when i haul ny auger around i take the head off and keep the head up right not laying down.in my oppion this propane auger is awesome.no fumes or mixed gas to worry about.

I think that is the best way to transport it. The head pops on and off so easily.

Our new powerhead arrived today and started up with first pull!

Thanks Jiffy for responsive customer service!

Took the auger out today and drilled some holes to check ice thicknesses. 8.25"-8.5" here on Richmond Lake in the Aberdeen, SD area.

That Jiffy is a drilling fool!

Tends to throw the chips on your shins more than my old strike master, but I love the one pull starting and new sharp teeth.

never been a fan of the jiffy, just throws stuff way to far, and makes a huge mess.

I purchased mine January of last year. In late February after using for 75+ wholes and always taking care of the unit. On a fishing trip and the gas line vibrated loose. It actually broke the rivet. I was able to jimmy rig up a copper line with brass fittings and worked the rest of the season. Right after it happened I contacted the Big 'C' and they said they would replace since it was within the time but had none in stock. I just returned it over xmas with no issues. I also noticed they changed the gas line so it shouldn’t have the same issue.
