Question posted by mccannm0128 on September 5th, 2017

Unit Is Real Hot And Smoking.

I bought a new predator gas powered auger from Harbor Freight yesterday. Unit number 63022 2hp motor 52cc. I went to use it today and only got through half of 1 hole and the unit is smoking and is very hot. I mixed 25:1 ratio with stabilizer. 1 gallon of gas was about 5.2 oz of 2cycle engine oil. Should I take it back or is there something I'm doing wrong?
