jiffy model 30

Just to let you guys/gals know....my 1972 jiffy 30, Is still running strong,it starts on the 3rd pull in minus 30 weather every time and cuts a 10 inch hole! For those of you that question these old augers...do a tune up once in a while!

You got mine beat as I bought it in 1984 and it still is kicking good.

My buddy still has his from the early 90's.

Great tip! A new spark plug and freshly mixed non-oxy gas will go a long way!

I winterized my old jiffy model 30 this spring with full tank of gas etc. went to start it the other day and there was no fuel in it? Added more and watched it drip out the bottom.

Fuel line had dried and cracked over summer. I freaked thinking something would be dried out or the carb wouldn't run right. Bought a few inches of quarter inch fuel line and added some gas. Sure enough it started first pull.

Those things are awesome HEAVY duty powerheads!

My Jiffy was handed down to me from my late grandpa - pretty sure it's a 1968. I just retired it last year from my every trip auger, but only because I was getting tired of how much gas it leaked when traveling and I also couldn't find an extension for it. It still runs like a champ and it starts in less than 3 pulls. I don't think my new auger drills much faster than my old Jiffy, but I no longer worry about the single handle swinging around and smacking me in the shins!
