Hey all,

Surf, another dumb question here.  I figure you are all talking about Amsoil 2 stroke oil. ( I'll have to look for that)

But... but.... what is Seafoam??

Good mornin Alta, Seafoam is a fuel stabilizer that has no alcohol [ it attracts water, not good ! ] in it. It also doesn't have any red or green dye in it that can turn into really gooey snot when it combines with water in the fuel system ! Gas w/ ethanol in it really sucks for small motors, because of the alcohol in it !  :%$#!: I use Seafoam in everything I own, Cars, trucks, wheeler, ski doo and all of my small engines ! It's cheap insurance for me, Especially now that they are talking about adding even more Ethecrap to the fuel, Up to 15% !  :o :%$#!: Sorry for the rant Buddy, but that kind of headuptherectum thinking cost everyone more money for engine maintenance ! There is a lot of info on the amsoil site ! Good luck and have a great day !

 Since I am a Member of the  F.O.E.A.O  I need some help here :P..............I own a 2009 model Eskimo Mako.  I was wondering if there is a hidden Grease Zerk/fitting for the gear case /Transmission that I am not seeing. I see that the bottom end is Held together with some Hex screws to get at the lower case. I'd thought I would ask you guys before I start removing stuff.  I has some Grease seep out when it sat on it side last year and would like to check the levels or add grease. Thanks a Bunch

Hey KK, If you go to the Eskimo web site, you can download the Parts schematic for free. I think those are a sealed unit, but its worth a look ! They also have a FAQ page to answer any questions you may have. I've talked with the service techs there and they are on the ball !



Hey kchamp, I'm running an old 10" model 8600 Shark. Try the Eskimo site there are better spec lists on those augers and customer reviews also. Myself personally, I like Steel handles on my augers, I saw a SM fall over last winter and the handle shattered, it was toast !

the new auger what oil should i use, i want to get the best so she last the longest. they make amsoil or should i use    OIL VIPER 2-CYCLE 50:1 SINGLE PACK 300400
Viper semi-synthetic, smokeless, 2-cycle engine oil with fuel stabilizer is specifically blended for Viper engines. It's safer for the environment and the equipment operator because it helps eliminates exhaust smoke. Viper oil maintains a clean fuel system and removes the need for draining fuel at the end of the season.
$1.99

krazykaiser: You're not missing a thing...that's a sealed gearcase. Have to crack it open and add new gearcase oil, plus new gasket. Ardisam recommends every year.. I go about 2-3 years, depending on your usage. They will "seep" just a bit over the off season...mine does.

Hey Surf and Reb... sorry forgot to walk in with my Hip waiters on... LOL ...
and sorry too hear about your Cornflakes Reb.  That has gotta bite eh... they say that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day before I get skunked on the ICE... LOL ...

Hey " SurfLizard" !!
Here are a couple fast pics of fast build that I came up with yesterday and talking with you guys. It is ( for now) sitting on a returned old boat seat mount that I got for $5.66 in a Sale bin.








It will have to be moved if and when I carry my tent though.

Holly cow man!!  4!!  ... LOL ... I think I just saw my future... LOL ... I have for now the 6" hand Ice Augur and now the new Gas powered one.
I hear Ya as far as getting toooo much crap. But Heck that is OK with me, a I am becoming my father and taking up the local Pack-Rat business. And... And... I say for now the Wife says it is Ok as it has given me something else to do other than sitting on the Couch. ... L ...

I think of those sweet , sweet, words she said when she said... " Now that you have a powered Ice Auger, you better get out there more often" .... It still brings a tear of Joy to my eye when I think of what she said .... LMBO ...

I have not got the room to store four augers at this point... although I have not told her of the extra waisted space we are not using in the bedroom at this time.... LOL..

Later Kchanp... Have a great day man. Be safe.

Hey all.

  Went down yesterday morning to M.J. Mowers ( the local Stihl dealer) and picked up a 5 litre jerry can and my oil. They gave me there Premium Stihl two-stroke oil (with fuel stabilizer  50:1 100 ml bottles and I picked up a little extra package of Briggs and Stratton " fresh start" stabilizer to add to it.

I did ask the salesman if he thought I should ever go to a synthetic oil... and he said that I should not have too... BUT I think i'll run one or two 5 litre cans through it and look at the Synthetic route.

The Eskimo manual I have says to have it at 50:1 ratio as well as the side of the oil bottle.

Alta, You amaze me every time I see that Cadillac of ice sleds, You're doing a great job on it ! Not to be a worry wart or anything, but with the power head up there where its mounted, does it make the sled tippy ?
