jiffy stx primer ball

[fish chaser]

So im having a dilemma. i have a jiffy stx 3500 auger, and when it runs its great. But it seems its one thing after another with this thing.

The primer ball has blown out the end and jiffy says i need to buy a whole carb to fix it. at 36.75 this may be the final straw. anyone know of a way to fix this without buying an entire carb? it looks like the ball could be replaced if i could find a replacement.

Try approaching this from the other end. Instead of going to Jiffy, try any small engine repair shop. That part should be carb specific not Jiffy. Should have a number on the carb which will help get right part.

I was just to L&M fleet and picked up a carb kit for a 3hp auger(jiffy) and in the rack with the parts they had a few jiffy primers for $7.28

thanks for the ideas. i hadnt thought aqbout looking at it from the other end. figured if jiffy didnt offer it it it couldnt be bought. but its worth a shot. if not there will be a 10 inch stx for sale really cheap on hsolist... tired of messing with this thing..
