I've got a Strikemaster LazerMag about 2 years old...
I was drilling a hole on Sunday and as I neared the break-through point, the auger bit stopped spinning and while I tried manuevering it up & down to finish the hole I heard a clank. There's now a "knock" coming from the engine while opening it up. At idle it's fine but once you give er some gas you'll hear that "knock". I know very little about small engines but am thinking it's pretty serious.
Anyone willing to chime in as to what the problem might be and how I can repair it. I've heard all about the superior walk-in service at Strikemaster in Big Lake and was actually going to take it there this morning but got to thinking it's more of a part repair and pitch adjustments rather than engine work there right? I was hoping I wouldn't have to take the hand auger out of the garage until mid-March...
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
