Just wondering if there are any gas augers ou there that can be started on their side and put down and idle while sitting on their side. Thanks!

My Jiffy (2hp Tec) can run and be started on its side.

My 30+ year old OPE III will run laying on its side when warmed up some. I never thought to try and start it laying on its side.

I have seen 2hp jiffys run on their side but have yet to see a 3hp jiffy that does. Not sure why that is.

Nils will run upside down. No leaks no fumes you can crarry it in you car or truck.

I'd think that if you're running your auger upside down you might be standing on the wrong side of the ice ...

the gas for all augers is gravity feed.
