Jiffy Auger Question
« on: Dec 27, 2003, 12:06 PM »
I kind of inherited a jiffy auger Not sure what model it is but i know its at least 10-15 years old. My question is this. When my auger is idling and just sitting there on the stand it will continue to slowly spin. Is there anyway to correct this or is this just what they do?  I was wondering if the gear box needs a tune up?  
Jiffy must be a good auger because that auger has sat in my mom's basement for about 3-4 years because i had moved out to Nebraska. Now i am back in Maine i emptied the old gas (yep 3-4 years old) and put new gas in. I pulled that baby maybe 6 times and she fired right up. Needless to say i was rather impressed!!!
If anyone has any suggestions on fixing the spin while idling let me know.
Have a great season everybody. :'( :'( :'(

The clutch on those are set to enguage at a certain rpm. I'm guessing that your idle (low speed) is a little too high.

Essox hit the nail on the head Just turn down the idle screw a little.

Sounds like my Jiffy Model 30. It's about 16 years old and going strong, starts on the first 4-5 pulls after sitting for 9 months. Esox is right, the adjustment did it for me. A new spark plug every year, and I'm ready to go. Enjoy it!

Where would the idle screw be on it?

On the carb....There is a high idle and a low idle. You want to adjust the low. I have a link somewhere for an online manual. I'll try and find it for you.

Hi smeltshack, look on top of carburator when you pull on throttle.find the pate that moves at time and there is a small screw that stops it form going back all the way.my jiffy is only a couple years old but i imagine they r set up the same. it is under gas tank on top of carb.you found or heard of any safe ice here yet? hope this helps. :'(

Salmonoid i read on a post that there was like 7 inches on Pleasant pond in Richmond. I am an electrician and we were doing a job up near there and it looked like there was good ice. I am going to venture out on a small pond on opening day. Heck i dont care where i go as long as i can get a little fishing in and stay above water.
