Strikemaster Lazer Mag Carb Adjustments

[deadeye]

Hi, I was looking for my repair guide for my old auger and can't find it. I was hoping to adjust the high speed mixture since it cuts out at high speed and you need to run the choke about halfway to keep it going through the ice. I just don't want to take a shot in the dark about which screw to turn when adjusting it. I also think that the governor is set way high too, and I have a good idea on what to adjust, but I want to play it safe. I think when I loaned it out they messed with it. If someone has a manual or knows off hand, the help would be appreciated. It a lazer mag 2 horse, year 1999.

I guess I get a little spoiled working on fuel injected cars, carbuerators seem so foreign too me that I don't know what to do without a book. I just hook up a computer to the injected car and tell it what I want it to do vs having to turn screws and manually adjust things.

Carb probably doesn't need adjusting, just a good cleaning. I'm guessing there is some varnish or maybe a little debris plugging the high speed side. My Lazer Mag Xpress did the same thing this year, I pulled the tank and the carb to disassemble and do a full cleaning but didn't have a little Torx screwdriver with to fully take the carb apart. So I just sprayed some carb and choke cleaner into as many of the little holes as I could. Put it back on the motor and she's working fine now.

I have the same auger only older.

I agree with hanson; try that first.

Good luck!

Always add some Seafoam to your gas and it will clean out the carb and keep it clean.

Ya, I have done all that stuff. Its in need of some tuning, it revs way too high, so something is off. I think I'm going to head to D-rock and see if I can get the adjustment info out of them. I noticed that the throttle doesn't close when I let off (just when its not running) and I think its missing a couple springs off of the carbuerator. I just found out after I got it running that the gas tank split down the seam in the middle. It emptied the tank halfway on the garage floor so I got to go that part anyway. I guess I have had it for ten years now so its due for some real repairs. I bet the thing has drilled 20,000 holes so its time.
