Hi everyone

Was planning on heading down this week. BUT I just went to check my auger.
Looks like gas line is broken and the prime ball is not working either. And to boot the gas cap has split in half.
So here is my question.
Does anyone know where I would be able to get this repaired.
I live in Bobcaygeon.

Any help would be great.
The darn thing worked ok before, but because of the ice last year I did not get out.
I would like to get it fixed asap. I don't want to miss out on the ice.

Thanks
Dave

If yours is the one with the plastic tank , I went to Canadian Tire and got universal kit for a weed eater with the fuel line, primer bulb and fuel cap for $26... in the garden section

They are Tecumseh engines and parts like ctc are available. When you put it away use Seafoam or storage seal and use ethanol free gas and you will have no further problems. The ethanol is a major problem for small engines.

The best fuel for these small engines is the premixed fuel you get at Home Depot at the chainsaw section. premixed at 40:1 ratio and never goes bad also in 4 stroke. A little pricey but I have never had a problem with mine.

Thanks to all replied.
I have had to take it in for repairs.
Just hope it will not be too long.

E10 Fuel will erord the fuel rubber lines.
You might want to have the carb cleaned while they are at it.
