I'm very timid in using the oil in my new Nils Auger until I get this figured out.

That is the only oil that I have ran in my Nils and it runs GREAT.

Have you ran a full tank of the new Amsoil mix thru the motor and have you pulled the plug and clean and regap or better yet replace ?

As far as how fast it gets shipped out I received mine in 1 day but I would think that anywhere in the 5 state area would be 3 days.

Thanks Jim, I'm headed out know to work and I'll pick up a new plug. I'm sure the equipment is just running fuel rich being there is more fuel now than oil. The auger I'm gonna run one more tank for break in this time I'll use The Amsoil at 70/1.I did notice the extra power in the chainsaw and brush saw. The brush saw was actualy quiter if that can can be for a brush saw.

I have never heard of the oil mixture ratio affecting the fuel-air mixture, that is, I have never heard of anyone having to readjust the carb. Changing from Stihl oil to AMSOIL shouldn't cause a problem. Some of the cheap oils will leave excessive carbon that can cause problems.

An entirely separate problem: with the new (2007 and newer) larger hp augers, the EPA requirements are such that most of these are fix jetted with little or no adjustment. But they are designed for optimum fuel-air mixture at 70 deg F. The problem with an auger is the normal operating temperature of an auger can easily be -20 deg. Real cold air will cause a lean fuel-air mixture and can burn a piston and a problem later in the season. The best I can fugure is that at least 1 auger manufacturer is rejetting all the motors on their machines for colder temps, but at least 1 is using standard mixture jets - no I don't know which. Some dealers will rejet.

If you ordered on-line through any of my links, ordered before noon anywhere in Minnesota should be 1 or 2 business day shipping. Remote areas of ND are running 3 business day shipping. It comes from the Superior, WI distribution center.

If you don't have it within this please give me a call or e-mail direct and I'll be glad to help locate the problem. If you gave them your e-mail address with the on-line order you should have automatically received UPS tracking and expected delivery in an e-mail.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
