verno Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Anyone have any info on the Woods 43cc gas auger from Canadian Tire? My wife and kids spoiled me with one of those and an eskimo hub for Christmas. I know it has to be a rebranded something else, I'm just looking down the road when I have to replace parts etc at how hard that is going to be? From the picture on the box it appears that a lot of the parts on the outside are plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 No info but I'll bet most of the different brands all come from the same building but different doors, slightly different handle and paint. There's a number of brands that all use the 33cc engine, again probably all interchangeable parts. Unfortunately the amount of plastic used keeps increasing.

GBW Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Congrats on the cool gifts and I'd bet the parts are the same as Eskimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Take a look at the manual and see if there is any reference to Ardisam . They are the parent company to Eskimo augers, and have been making the rapala gas augers since they came out as well as a few others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch01 Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) It's a virtual certainty that the Woods 43cc has the same Ardisam engine as my Rapalav43cc Vortex (Ardisam makes 90% of auger motors). Mine runs GREAT but only after I replace the stock Torch brand spark plug. If yours has one change it out ASAP. I also recommend TruFuel from Canadian Tire. Other guys are going to blast me here saying it's a waste of money, but I use one $10 can per season so I'm not worried about saving an extra $4 by mixing my own gas. Other than my auger has been great and no issues for years now. Edited December 26, 2018 by Dutch01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix small quantities (1L) of non ethanol and synthetic 2 stroke and you'll be fine. ? Edited December 26, 2018 by Fisherman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
