Strikemaster Auger

[MJBaldwin]

I was out every day over this long weekend auger worked just great come today I go to drill through the first hole and half way through my auger dies. I drilled about 7 holes tonight and it happend on almost all of them when I just applied the most little amount of pressure. Has anyone had this problem before ? If so what can a guy do to fix it? I bought new blades last yeAr so I know that's not it. Please help I'm all worked up about this now.

Carb setting on the high adjustment screw?

Neigbors new Solo is doing the same thing, said it worked great untill Saturday. He got it for Christmas idles fine but bogs out when you hit the gas and dies with a load, just revs up and down without a load wont run full throttle... Told him to bring it over but hasn't yet, I'm guessing he mixed the oil to rich but just a guess, was going to try my mix in it to see if it changed...

That was my second guess to much oil in gas??

It was colder today then the earlier part of this weekend. If you mix strikemaster oil at 24 to 1 it wont start or run in colder weather. Seems to me Strikemaster lowered the amount of oil to 40 to 1 or something. I would get some amsoil sabre and mix that 85 to 1.

His sticker did say 40:1 on the tank, mines at 80:1 small shot sould tell if it is or not the issue and checking the plug... It was warm when I messed with it yesterday...

Well I just put a new plug in the beginning of this year m brother i laws good buddy told me to use the cj8y instead of the cj6y I think I got the model numbers right in those. I guess it would be the gas but I've used the same gas since the beginning of the yeAr I used the strikemaster kind and mixed it 40:1 like the bottle says could possibly be he idle screw but never had a problem with it last year ??

Always run non oxy???

if its a solo check the tank breather. its under the air filter cover. a tube comes from the tank and there is a one way air breather on the end i had one fail on me last year, wouldnt let air in the tank. sometimes if you fill the tank to full this line will fill with fuel and wont have enough suction to suck it out. just blow air in to this breather with your mouth and see if that helps. also take the breather off and see if the check valve works correctly.

I run premium in it. It's not a solo it's a laser may xpress I should have stated that in my

Original posting I have heard a lot of good things about that's amsoil mixture I think I'm going to buy that next where can a guy buy it or what's the actual name of the product or is it just amsoil for two cycle engines??

Amsoil Sabre Professional

It's called Saber Pro. Hope it helps you out.

Do you guys think its the oil mixture of my gas?

[Hawg]

Or you screwed up the blades, it doesn't take much.

I drilled two more exhast holes similar to the existing hole size which will make it breath easier. The one only hole is for the state of California exhast laws.
