No mods to my auger this week other than a little carb tuning last night. For once in this augers life I think it might actually be making the rated 3 h.p.
Drilled a dozen holes in a neighborhood lake last night as the neighbors all came out to see what the heck was going on. I'm thinking new blades might be the best "mod" at this point. I do have a 1203cc buell engine sitting in the garage though, with nearly 100 ft lbs of torque I'm sure it would push a large diameter auger. The trick would be to find 3 other buddys to help hang on.
