Ice auger governor adjustment

I run an Eskimo auger that seems to me to not run at a high enough rpm. I can reach under to a tab and turn that which increases the rpms to what I think it should be. But, I can't figure out how to adjust it to stay. And maybe I shouldn't even be messing with it. Seems low though. Anybody own a manual or have knowledge about this?

No knowledge on that particular motor but i would suggest finding out why the rpms are low to begin with. My guess without hearing it run would be crud in the main jet of the carb.

Give it a good once over and if that doesn't help then i would look at adjusting the gov.

One could always call the company for the setting for that auger.

I would agree that if you need to adjust the carb or other setting that it may be another issues.

Did it at one time run well and now the issue has risen? If so, that would tell me that a carb cleaning may be the needed fix unless someone waas playing with some setting that you do not know about.

I should have explained better. It runs great, starts easy, just seems like it should spin faster.

Dont know about eskimos, but on older white head jiffys there is a high sped an low speed carb adjustment, but to adjust the high speed you have to have it runing at high speed an have someone turn the adjustment till it hits the higher rpm, lke 3/4 turn from seat. But best is to call eskimo, maybe down load a owners manuel from the net. boar

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
