    So I see a posthole auger on craigslist 5 miles from work and ended up buying it. After me and the guy got done loading it he offered to give me a 5k generator that he was going to scrap.
    I pulled it over and it had good compression and the muffler wasn't all rusted up so I figured it didn't have a ton of hours on it.
    Drain about 2 gals. of nasty gas out of it, replaced the fuel filter and cleaned the float bowl. Got it running but I might have to clean or adjust the carb as it runs quite rough with the choke off but runs pretty darn good with the choke on. The more I run it the better it seems to run but it is still rough.

    Oh, I didnt really need the posthole auger for my tractor but couldnt resist it!:rofl: :lol:
