Check it to see if there is a spark at all. You could have a bad plug. The ignition switch could be bad. The module could be bad. I just had a honda 500 that quit running and the connector between the battery and module came loose. If you have a no spark condition find out if there is current to the ignition coil. If not then check all of the fuses to make sure that they are allright. Unplug all electrical and check to make sure that they are clean and tight. If all is ok, then you will need to test individual components.

Hello. I'm kind of "out on a limb " here but my older chain saws and my Jiffy auger's the same. I use the highest octain fuel I can get (at the pump) and I think it helps. These old motors were made to run on real gas.

Hello. It couldnt hurt to try shimming the blades.This works for the Mora hand augers.I have an old Jiffy and it cuts better if the triangular point has a good sharp bevel filed on its edges. Happy Fishing!!
