- Once again we travel down the path of Auction Regret as more stuff finds its way into the bed of my truck... But, who am I to argue against prices so low? This old Jiffy Ice auger was too good to pass up.
Nothing on this thing is scrap as you could part it out on Ebay and fetch 35 bucks just for the carb. I have a model 30 jiffy from the 60s. It still runs awesome! Originally a "one arm bandit" these things last forever.
Best line. "Definitely keeps people from wanting to borrow it." That was just too funny man. Having a lot of fun watching your vids. That's the best part of just finding your channel the other day, lots of content I ain't seen yet. *:-)*
Thanks for watching!
Steel? no, steal. Good purchase. Good video, thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
There was a recent article on these by Dave Pender. If the Carb flange has an embossed F on it, the diaphragm goes next to the carb, not the gasket. I suspect you got it correct.
LOVE it best old jiffy ice augers! think the Carb shield is upside down wont cup the prime catch the prime... think thats how they are designed
Cool, good to know. I always tilted the auger to the side when priming to keep the fuel from dumping out.
@@toocheaptosmoke yeah exactly that works too! Dont take my advice i use to run my old jiffy with no hi screw in it ran like champ still does ha!@
That's a good deal 👍👍 , can't get any better than that,l don't even think about that I'll take that deal any day.
Finally another video 🤗😆👍👍👈
How could ya go wrong ? A 5 buck vintage auger and free year old heat cycled beer !
I know right? haha
Not so sure about the beer,As usually after being warm cold 3 times it's skunky
Love the auctions! Shoot, I paid $80 plus 20% fees for one about the same condition without stinkbugs! Only has the low speed adjustment. Just cleaned the carb and hope to punch the ice tomorrow.... heck , you paid less than I pay for a pint of Guiness. Bet you mix that xmas beer with that old petro and ya gots drinkability!
Haha! Yeah, sometimes you get lucky at the auctions, just never know!
Man, I get tired just looking at how many times you pulled on that recoil!
Lol, aerobic exercise!
LOL..You're a old gas connoisseur...TOOCHP is handed a gas tank of old gas, he swirls it, smells it, maybe even takes a swig taste test (?) and he can tell you the old gas vintage...lol
You scored big,good job! I have a 95,solid machine.
For sure, there was a reason they made these virtually unchanged for a good many years.
Good work 👍👍😊❤️
Thanks!
Looks like the intake “cup” is on upside down.
Got a one arm bandit for free fired right up with some fresh gas. I did make a different handle tho I like my ribs in one piece
sounds good
Just got strike master gas power for 40$ fix gas cap vent and tighten two screws fix the leak and decided buy new blade for like around another 40
Not bad, sure beats drilling holes by hand!
@@toocheaptosmoke usaly I don't mind by hand but when I have to deal with 20"+ after 3 or 4 holes get little tiering
I own four jiffys. I just can't pass them up when the price is right. And I'm sure smoking two stroke engines and the overall noise level piss off liberals. During trips to Canada I've experienced "two extension years" where my model 30 blazes through the ice with no problem while others are sidelined.
I’m the same way, two jiffy’s and a ice king auger .
Well, new diaphragm and welch plug, cleaned the sealed high speed jet (may have damaged the check valve with torch tip cleaner? DAMN!) and it doesn't seem to want to wind the rpm's up except when you initially hit it. Acting just like yours did........hmmm may be time for a Chinese carb
Betting u have leeky crank seal hav worked on many dad owner d we alership
I wish I could get Yuengling *easy* where I live. Used to drink it every time I visited my relatives in New Jersey. They're all gone to the great big beer tent in the sky now so I don't get it unless I happen to drive 2 plus hours to a place that sells it. Too many beers closer to home if ya know what I mean. Haven't had it in a long while now so I don't know if it's still as good as I thought it was then. Does that make any sense?
Haha, I hear ya. I like it cause it's semi-local, tastes good, and is usually pretty affordable. I would recommend Straub American Amber if you ever see it, since you like yeungling.
Very nice,Grear find great price. How did it do once on ice?
2 stroke medic.
I just got my one armed bandit going today. Parts took 2 weeks to get her to Alaska from someplace lower 48, put new elect package with magneto and points condenser. Forgot to order a spark plug, but got it going after probably 25 years of sitting in an army storage here in alaska. what do you recomend for low speed screw and high speed ?
Nice! I usually start at 3/4 - 1 turn out for both screws, then adjust from there. High speed screw has to be adjusted on the ice with a load on the engine, otherwise the governed makes it hard to reach full throttle
Is it possible to still get blades for these old augers?
I believe you still can. These blades are pretty simple though, usually straight and sharpened on one side, easy to get sharp again with a stone or file.
Did you end up also adjusting the high speed screw? Sounded a bit boggy and 4 stroking. Would probably need a 3rd hand to do it on an auger.
Not yet, it's hard to do the high speed on these engines unless you can put a good load on the engine. The governer just cuts the throttle back when you pull the lever, that makes it sound choppy. Will have to wait for ice for final tuning, haha.
@@toocheaptosmoke Oh yeah, like tuning a chainsaw carb. Probably a different story altogether still with a new spark plug. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy them.
True and you really should do it under load.
Did you do anything special to get the flywheel off? I've got one of these with a no spark problem but I can't seem to get it off.
I hate to say it, but I used the pry bar and hammer method, just gotta be careful!
Do a video on the 2 track 1 ski ski doo in the background
I've got at least one or two vids of it, probably from a couple years ago. It's a 1986 alpine with a 640 engine in it
Ugh, that has got to be some skunky ass beer...
It wasn't bad for the price!
Yup DRAG IT UP. I THINK YOU NEED EITHER TRUE SLICKS OR CHEETER SLICKS !
Stink bugs????
Stink bugs are a PITA, lol
Wasted more money on dumber things. Good little ice drill there..
For sure!
