Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
Surflizard, this is a Tecumseh motor, runs 24:1. That's why I was worried about running the opti 2, and the compression. I'm not sure what these little motors should have for compression. have found specs but they all range from 40 lbs to 100 lbs so not sure if the motor is toast or not. Oh and as far as her name, not sure yet, gotta see how good she is and if she is tempermental or not! Might have a few choice names for her then. Lol. Thanks for your help.
I hear ya Ray, I have 2 Tecumseh powered augers, My old Eskimo Shark won't run right at anything less then 50:1 Of all the different ratios, she likes it the best ! My other Tecumseh is on a Jiffy Legend Lightning, I run it at 100:1 with 97 Oct and Amsoil Sabre, It runs like a Raped Ape !!The method to this madness is that I want to see what it will take, so far its on it second season and it still running Flawlessly ! There are a lot of guys that run their augers to company specs and swear by it, more power to em ! I've been tinking with motors for a while now and I like to tune some right to the edge, some times just a touch too far and POW !! I expect engine failures because of how far I push them, Oh well, then its time to put another one together ! I don't recommend doing it, but I can't help it sometimes ! That just me ! Fordkisskrazy, Give her a shot at 24:1 and see how it runs, I agree with ray, I think its too thick and will smoke hard and foul the plug. Lets ask the F.O.E.A.O. Crew ! What ratios are all you different Mo Owners running
waynesburgjay: DO NOT run an outboard oil in your auger. Use ONLY an oil for air-cooled engines!!!
You're killing me, my mako is my first power augur and with the weather we're having it might not see gas and oil this year. Always a chance of an open winter in Nova Scotia
Thanks guys, I really hope mother nature gives you midwest guys a break from the snow so you can get out on the ice too !! Ray, I've used some of the Lucas Oil products and they make good 2 stroke injector oil, but I've never seen a Mix oil from them ? I thought you said to keep the Snow Snake Bite Medicine in there Reb !
JEEZ Reb, you know better than that !! You ALWAYS DRINK IT BEFORE ya go wandering for Wanda's !!
Oh yeah? Well, I'll take care of him!!!!!!! You're gonna get all the Viper oil ya need, buddy!!! Way to go, Ray!!!! If we can't be out there, at least we can sell more 'Mo's!!!!!!! I hope you told him about the F.O.E.A.O.,and showed him your card signed by the GPOEAO?! (Grand Poobah of Eskimo Auger Owners) It's rumored that only 1 or 2 people have actually met him...I've heard that Surflizard ACTUALLY talked to him!!!
