engine is extremely touchy (due to emissions requirements I believe)Ģ6 lbs. Primer allows you to prime before pulling – still couldn’t start my Jiffy on 1 pull though, but regardless I like to be able to prime the engine before pulling….Jiffy makes a bullet proof ice auger that will last for years (quality a big plus).Doesn’t ice up very easily – always cuts with the chipper blade.(actual weight, documented weight the same I believe) I am a bit curious as to why it was designed this way.Ĥ0 lbs. Not sure why second handle is in place on the side with the throttle – this isn’t really a flaw, just doesn't seem to be necessary.The vent takes in air without allowing any gas to escape. No need to loosen anything on the gas cap ever. One way valve on gas cap vent is just plain slick.Not a big deal, but I like to use the auger as a ruler when placing holes and I can tip the auger down to do this without it sputtering. Chainsaw style engine allows you to tip the auger on the side and it will keep running, unlike the Tecumseh engines.11,500 RPM geared down 30:1 – very fast cutting and plenty of torque for the toughest conditions (over twice the RPM as the competition to work with – Jiffy geared down only 12:1 resulting in less torque, StrikeMaster geared down 25:1 for decent torque but slower auger speed).Throttle handle and safety switch convenient and comfortable, as is the on/off switch.Just prime it up and half choke and start. Primer allows to prime before pulling – starts on first pull after sitting out in 0 deg.Blades don’t ice up very easily – dual chipper blades work well even when iced a bit.(actual weight with empty gas tank – documented weight I received from Eskimo is 28 lbs.) Gas mixture (92 octane mixed 50:1, per manual)Ģ9 lbs.
