Good Deal?
« on: Dec 15, 2014, 11:55 AM »
I have an offer for a Strikemaster Mag 2000 3Hp auger. It is older, has rusty flighting on the auger, and the carb needs a little work, but for 100 dollars. Do you guys think this is a good deal? I have no issue fixing the carb by myself, I am just curious if you guys think this is a reliable auger and if it would be worth buying.

Thanks

CI

If it runs its worth it ...I would clean up the tank ...do a batch of good mix ...add seafoam to that mix as recommend on the bottle ...then add 1 oz to the empty tank and add your mix w/seaform ...run her a bit ..shut her off and lelt sit a spell .

Yeah, I would give it the usual old motor treatment, that is no issue. Does anybody have any idea what brand of motor it is?

If you can locate the number on the engine that tells it all

Probably a techumseh. They were good motors if taken care of correctly. I'd buy it.
