Shaft wobble jiffy ice auger - Jiffy Model 30 Power Ice Drill

Piece of junk if it needs to be warm.....being an ice auger and all.....take it back if you can.

I am wondering if your pulley is bent. It will wobble if it is. Is it possible a piece of ice got jammed into it. Is the auger shaft bent? There has to be a reason it wobbles. It will eventually wear something out if not repaired.

Pulling the cord will only start the engine. Your problem is with the centrifugal clutch. Check the clutch for broken springs. GOOD LUCK FRIEND.

The model 76 ice auger was made over a number of years and is probably still be in production. If it has a Jiffy engine, it was made before 2011 ("2500 series"). If it has a Tecumseh engine, it's 2011 or newer. Your best bet for getting the age is to find the serial number on the auger or the engine and contacting the manufacturer.

Close the plug gap till it is only about .006 thousandths and be sure the plug base is grounded when you turn the engine over, if you have a small amount of fire or still no fire through the plug you may have to change your module/coil if it fires bright blue see if it will start.

hello,
I work out at a remote fishing lodge in Alaska and the Jiffy auger we have here says 24:1 on the unit but I know for a fact ( cu'z I do the mixing ) that we run it using a 40:1 mix Ratio and it works great.
I have heard stories from other fishermen that they are running ' Amsoil* ' in there Jiffy augers at a mix ratio of 80:1 and they say that it cut down on the smoking of motor.
fish on,stay warm and have fun,

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.

I pick up a power head from the junk yard this past weekend. The unit was made by Feldmann Mfg. and engineering. I believe this is the same company that manufactures Jiffy ice augers. I paid $3 for it. It looks like it is from the 50's or 60's. It was complete except for the auger. The motor was froze from sitting, but after disasembling, cleaning, cutting new gasket, freeing the rings and numerous other problems I got it running. I found augers in the Northern hydraulics catalog in sizes from 3" to 12". They are for earth and the 8" was $139.99. You would need to contact them for the shaft size to see if it will fit in the power head you have.
