I’m ready to roll! Fired them up and got them started in a couple of pulls!  :)

Me Too the Tanaka engine with the strikemaster flighting is the best I have used. Starts easy and then runs smooth.  Nice and light as well.
Old fishermen never die, they just smell that way.

I’ve been running mine for about 10-15 mins once a month or so?  Do you have an extension with yours?  Just curious.

I haven't required an extension so far. This setup is taller than most other augers. Tanaka used to sell a 15 inch extension but they have been discontinued. With the 1 inch drive shaft you might have to build your own or find someone who knows how to weld.

I do have an Eskimo Z71 with 12” and 18” extensions if I’m really in a jam! :)

My auger mixture settings say 25:1 mix.  Does Trufuel have that?  I noticed they have 50:1 and 40:1
Get outside.  It does a body and mind good!

I’m not sure I’ve only used TrueFuel in a lawnmower many years ago.  Now I only use Aspen 4 with AmsOil Saber mixed at 100:1 in my augers.
