Jiffy model 30 issue

[thescottith]

Just picked up a used model 30, about 25 years old. It had a busted clutch spring so I replaced both springs, however once you apply pressure to the auger to cut the ice the blade stops, the motor stays running and it will cut through the ice with a little bit of pressure and cut really slow, but it seems like I should be able to apply alot more pressure without the auger blade stopping. ANy ideas? I was thinking on cleaning the clutch and such but not sure whats really going on.

Anyone have anything similar ever happen? and if so what was the fix? Any suggestions would be awesome, first ice auger I own so trying to get it in tip top shape.

Thanks a bunch for your time.

Since you replaced a clutch spring your problem might be in the clutch.

You could try cleaning it and inspect for wear.

Having said that, a slipping clutch isn't a clutch problem.

The engine needs to hit a certain RPM at WOT for the clutch to lock up.

Could be as simple as an adjustment to high speed mixture screw on the carb.

Likely that you would have to lean it with a slight counterclock wise turn.

Do this 1/8th turn and then test. Keep repeating till you get it dialed in.

Leaning is counterclockwise on the high speed?

My bad. Turning in/Clockwise will lean it.
