[cool][#0000ff]Unless you try to blame YOUR auger problems on me too, we can run it up the flagpole for others to salute.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have a Jiffy 3 horse 10" auger that can be temperamental too. Same thing...runs like gangbusters at Salt Lake altitude and temperatures. Hit the lake on a cold morning and it is a workout to get the sucker to fire. I usually have to mess with the idle and carb settings to get it going the first time and then trim it back to best running settings.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Cold can affect most 2 strokes. If you make the run to the ice with the auger in the back of your truck, and get both cold air and snow in the works, it may be a bit balky to get started. I know I am.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You might also try shooting some more gas into the works with the primer...and also pulling the start rope a couple of times without the switch being on. Then turn the switch on and try again. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Augers are like females...sometimes temperamental. (Sorry ladies. I have been married a looooooooonnnnngggg time, and I got a few female dissing points saved up.)[/#0000ff]
