I was a little dissapointed to find out my Jiffy is Scorched! I have a 9" 3 horse that is only 2 years old. It has always run really well and then totally quit the other day. Dead! So I took it in and they said it has been scorched and it is basically shot. Now, I take very good care of my equipment and always use the proper gas/oil mixture. I have contacted Jiffy and they referred to the Tecumseh distributor in the Twin Cities. I can see the writing on the wall already. "I am sorry sir, you have been running it to lean, you are SOL"
That response will really make me mad but I can see it coming already. My question to the experts is there other reasons the engine could be scorched versus running it to lean, which I know I haven't done. Again, the thing is only 2 years old.ScottS
