Hi everybody, i have a z71 10 inch that was working pretty fine until this little problem, the blade doesnt stop turning when on idle (no throttle). I call eskimo cause shes on warranty and they tell me to bring the auger to the local eskimo repair shop, 2 week after i call the shop if they had repair it and they tell me its the centrifugal clutch and the part is b/o.Did this happen to somebody else,is it b/o because it broke often and how much time you guys thinks its going to take before eskimo make the part. Thank you
Sounds like a pinhole starting in the diaphragm, clue is is starts right after you pump it up, signs of fuel starvation, otherwise, I'd lean toward's a bad coil, which is usually evidenced once it heats up and displays weak spark. I'd clean out your carb/diaphragm, on chance you have some crud that is working it's way through the fuel delivery system. That is a high probable in the start/stop situation's that are encountered.
What spark plug does everyone recomend? Thinking about changing out my factory plug.
To respond back to Lefty.I flip the choke off as soon as I get it started so that's not the problem.Any other thoughts on my situation?
Also be sure to prime one at a time..
So are you saying I should keep the choke open or slightly open while running my auger? My issue is that it's bogging down or sputtering when I've got the trottle on full and drilling holes. To the novice, which is me, it seems like it's not getting enough gas. Which I guess keeping the choke open would solve???I guess everything I've read is to keep the choke off/closed...
