ice auger?

Hi all, does anyone out there run a 10" lazer? Last year my buddy purchased one and it really seems to be under powered. Was wondering if anyone else seemed to of had problems or is his just a lemom? Thanks for any info.

previously had a 3hp 10 inch jiffy,never run good from day

we purchased it,sold it and bought a 2 hp strikemaster 8 in

and have never been happier,the 3 hp we had did have plenty

of power when it ran correctly which was seldom,carb repair kits,tune ups etc,was always somthing

I have a 10" 2 horse Lazer Strikemaster. I have had some minors issues with it, mostly with the blades, but as far as power goes, its been fine. Almost made me wonder why someone would want a 3 horse. JH

I have a 2hp 10" and it cuts fine, as long as you keep sharp blades on it. I think with the bigger auger and smaller engine, blade sharpness is key to good cutting. My engine is running great especially since I started to use Amsoil! Wow that made a diffrence!

More than likely, your carb needs to be cleaned and tuned. Mine got a bit boggy toward the end of last year, and it was a carb issue.

Definately could be a carb problem, or even a simple spark plug replacement. If it was new, and you ran the stronger mix of oil in the gas, the plug might of gummed up.

Thanks for all your replies. Yeah the auger was brand new so it had new blades on it. Ill float him some of your ideas. I persomally have one of the original lazers and even after siting for 10 monthes it fires right up. Going on 10 years old. Thanks again.
