Going to fire up my Auger tomorrow.

Z51 Eskimo. On it's 5th year now and has always started on the first pull. That is if I turn it on and prime it the correct amount of times.

That's what I love about my Eskimo Mako, it fires right up.  Last year I it didn't want to start until the second or third pull so I pulled the carb and fuel line to see what was going on.  I found a gob of gook blocking the inlet into the carb, thank you tree huggers and ethanol, and after I cleaned everything out it was back to normal, firing up on the first pull as long as I didn't do something silly like leave it switched off.

No Ethanol in mine. The only place with in about 100 miles from me that sells it is 100 yards from my house.

Yer lucky. It's made right here and it's all we can get. Garbage.

I buy TruFuel at Home Depot. No ethanol and comes in a great, portable can. One can is exactly the same tank size as my Jiffy. It's hard to justify spending what amounts to probably $50 a gallon on gas, but when you only need 1/4 gallon for the season it's worth it.

Well after a few pulls I thought it wasn't going to start. Then I remembered I didn't open the vent on the gas cap. Then she fired up.

I should try mine, just lazy and lots of time before ice, up here.

Fired up the Tanaka. Still the best.
