Hi I found a post on craigslist they were selling a brand new jiffy legend model 31 for $300. This was my first auger purchase. When i first looked at it and talked to the owner, the owner said that the auger was her fathers and he had passed and never used the auger. I thought that the auger was the 2010 but when i got there i was mitaken, i could tell it wasnt the new model. It is the jiffy model 31 with a 10 inch auger blade and tecumseh 3hp motor. I wrote the numbers on the motor down and i was wondering what year it actually is.
Used Jiffy Ice Augers
It is literally brand new, paint is still on sides and perfect yellow color. How can i find out what year it is? The motor is tvo85xa and DOM is 04258ca0226, serial is 3151442.
Any help would be well appreciated. Anyone have this augor? Is the tecumseh a good motor? I hope i got a good price on it and it runs great, i hear the older ones are built better withouth the plastic on the new ones.
I have posted this on a few other forums and have found it to help others so I will post this up for you guy's if you need info on making adjustments. I got this info from Feldmann Eng. Who manufactures the Jiffy augers.Thought I would post this up for the ice fishing guy's that might have a question on this topic, I know i did after I first bought mine a few years ago.Thought if anyone needs this type of info you can refer back to it.I have had to do this once when I first got my Jiffy and works great since then.adjusting the carburetor for a Jiffy 3hp. I hope it is still useful for those with Jiffy augers.The best way to do this is on the ice if you can, and have some one help you hold it. I included a pic of my carb, the left screw is the low speed needle mixture and the right screw is the high speed needle mixture. What I found on mine is even when adjusted to the max rich settings CCW it would still be running lean and quit after idling just a few second unless I pressed on the primer bulb. The carb needles rich-en the fuel mix by turning them CCW or out.
Leaning the mixture by turning them CW or in. Those red cap are just press fit on, I took them off to get enough adjustment.
You will need a small flat blade screw driver to adjust the needles.I started by getting it running and warming it up. Then run a hole and adjust the high end needle until the it's running clean. It's hard to describe the sound, if you rich-en up the high speed needle while drilling a hole you will start to bog down. What you want to do is lean the high speed needle to where it's just running smooth while drilling.
Problem some get into is as you lean out the mixture your rpms will increase and some over do it. You just want the engine breaking in to the where it's running smooth.After that, you will probably have to rich-en up the low speed needle to get it to stay idling. Small adjustments is all you need as the needles can be sensitive. After this adjustment punch another hole. When accelerating the motor if it bogs you may be a tad rich on the low speed needle and the carb is starting to flood the engine, if it stumbles it's a little lean yet. This is the norm but not always, Keep making small adjustments, then run another hole and let it come down to idle.Contrary to some you will need to go back and forth between the needles until you get it.
I believe I added a 1/4 CCW 'rich-en' turn past where the plastic stops were on the low speed needle. The high speed needle needed to be lean just slightly.After getting it set I put the plastic red caps back on and put them in the center position. I've adjusted many 2 strokes and they can be touchy, I spent all of 15 mins on the ice getting mine to run. One other note, all engines need some run time on them to break-in, usually a tank should do.
You may find your self adjusting your carbs again as the engine breaks-in, I haven't had too yet. Also, make sure your oil mix is correct, too much oil can be just as bad as too little.I hope this helps.This info for anyone looking for way's to adjust your Jiffy 3hp.
