I know alot of you are looking to get out on the soft water, but it is going to be a while before it happens up here.
I have a jiffy auger approx 6 years old, been a sweet machine for me.
Today I was almost thru the 48 inches of ice when it stalled.
Before today with the engine off you could spin the handles counter clockwise freely. Now when you go to restart it as you are pulling the cord the auger wants to turn as well. When you rotate the handles counterclockwise with it off you hear a gravely type sound,
Any help is appreciated as labour rates are ridiculous here as most other spots.
The motor does run.
Thanks and much appreciated,
John
