I just bought a new Xl 3000 and used it today for the first time. Mine also seem doggy like it lacks power.Do you have to take the red caps off to adjust the carb? Or do you turn the red caps to adjust it? What adjustments does each screw do? Which is which? Thanks for the help.

I have a Jiffy model 30, about 10 years old and I can kick my buddies brand new strikemasters butt!! I will have to tell him about the carb settings because his is a bit sluggish. Now I have a question. WHat kind of nut is used to hold on the socket head cap screw that hold on the auger half. I took my auger out the other day and the auger fell off. I have the bolt, but i'm not sure what was holding it on. I am using a nylock nut now but does anyone know what is the factory nut??
Thanks, Ruegs23

I own a Jiffy with a 3hp. powerhead (it is about 3yrs. old). It starts fine and cuts great but after you let it idle you must prime it before you open the throtle. If it is not primed it will sputter and kill. I feel it may be the timing? Any suggestions?

Note: I have brought it into get repaired twice with no luck.

Ruegs23- I have a strikemaster that the bolt fell out of the first time I used it!! I put a nylon lock nut on it and it has held up ever since. (8 years now)

I don't have any factory setting records, but you really don't need them. Most augers will run if you turn the screws out 1 1/2 turns. They won't run good, but at least it will run and you can adjust from there. The screw on the right should adjust the high speed(drilling), and the left screw will be the low speed(idle). You can adjust the low speed however you want it, easier starting and a little more choppy idle, or good strong idle but a touch more finicky to start. As far as I know, the high speed should be set rich enough so the auger "cleans" itself out in two or three seconds. You know what I mean, start out drilling, then the auger picks up some RPM and sounds a little higher pitched. Hope my instructions aren't too far off, and helped anyone that needed them.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
