Hello Randy. I can talk you through making adjustments to your Jiffy ice auger engine.
1. Read through the whole list before you start adjusting.
2. Close both jets GENTLY
3. Open the Low speed 1/4 turn
4. Open high speed jet 1 1/4 turn
5. Start engine.
6. Adjust low speed until idling smoothly.
7. Open her up wide open.
8. Adjust High speed until engine transitions smoothly from idle to high speed without bogging.
9. Shut engine off. Let it cool.
10. Once engine is cold. Fire it up and let it idle for 30 secs. Open it up wide open again. Adjust if necassary.

NOTE 1: The trick with the Jiffy's is to tune them during cold (ice fishing) weather.
NOTE 2: Low speed screw,the one on the left.
NOTE 3: High speed on the right.

Good luck ice fishing! Regards, Joe

I have an older Jiffy 30 ice auger. The carb was gummed up so I bought a new carb. I prime it. it runs for a second then it seams to run out of gas

Carb adjustment is required for new out of box.

Check fuel lines. If several years old, just replace.

Why does my ice auger want to keep spinning and wont stop when you pull the cord it turns the auger

Pulling the cord will only start the engine. Your problem is with the centrifugal clutch. Check the clutch for broken springs. GOOD LUCK FRIEND.

What year is a model 76 jiffy ice auger

The model 76 ice auger was made over a number of years and is probably still be in production. If it has a Jiffy engine, it was made before 2011 ("2500 series"). If it has a Tecumseh engine, it's 2011 or newer. Your best bet for getting the age is to find the serial number on the auger or the engine and contacting the manufacturer.

What should the gas oil miz ratio be for an older model 30 jiffy ice auger... fustarted fisherman

hello,
I work out at a remote fishing lodge in Alaska and the Jiffy auger we have here says 24:1 on the unit but I know for a fact ( cu'z I do the mixing ) that we run it using a 40:1 mix Ratio and it works great.
I have heard stories from other fishermen that they are running ' Amsoil* ' in there Jiffy augers at a mix ratio of 80:1 and they say that it cut down on the smoking of motor.
fish on,stay warm and have fun,

Jiffy ice auger won't start if cold.

I
Hello. I'm kind of "out on a limb " here but my older chain saws and my Jiffy auger's the same. I use the highest octain fuel I can get (at the pump) and I think it helps. These old motors were made to run on real gas.

Jiffy ice auger will start but will stop if i quit priming it.

Take the carburator off and clean it with carb cleaner. Also clean out the fuel screen. You must have a blockage the way it sounds.

Jiffy ice auger its starts but doesnt stay running

Sounds like the float is stuck.See if you can remove the float bowl.Once it's off try and separate the float from the carburetor.The float will be holding in a small needle,check it for free movement.They're pretty inexpensive and would be a good thing to replace.The float will crack,then fill up with fluid.Once full it will cease to function,opening and closing off the fuel flow.Then the needle will stick and you'll get little or no fuel.It's a real simple carb,they're less than $50 brand new if it sounds like too much to work on.Hope this has been some help?You do know this is posted under PC Desktops,right?
