My propane auger won’t start. I have tried several tanks. I have brought the whole thing in side over night. Nothing. Any one have this issue? Anyone know a place in the Waukesha area that fixes them?

Jiffy propane auger won’t start
I had the same problem with my propane auger. It turned out to be a crack in a black rubber breather tube. The new one that was put in is made better and I haven't had a problem since. I think if you go to the Jiffy website you can find a list of places that service their augers.
It is a Jiffy 44pro. Bought it in 2017. Always started on first or second pull. I have called 5 places today and no one will repair it. I have 1 more place to call tomorrow. I will post if I find a place. Otherwise I will look into the parts list for a Honda. Thanks for all the info! I did order a new ion 2 gen. It will be here tomorrow. I would like to this one fixed as a backup. Kids would not be happy if we can’t fish this weekend!
I have a Jiffy Pro 4 lite that gave me some problems just after the warranty ran out. I took it to a repair shop and found out the timing had jumped. Jiffy does not repair the power heads. Finally got someone at Jiffy to tell me that the power head is a Honda GX35. I ordered a new timing belt and cam gear. If I remember it was less than $10.00. I put them in and have had no problems since. This was back in 2018.
I had one about 9yrs. This is the first time it wouldn’t start. Ended up being the rocker that opens exhaust valve. The pivot pin is pressed on rocker. This connection became loose and it won’t start. Actually took it to an authorized Jiffy repair shop and they can’t get that part from Jiffy? You would basically have to replace the entire power head to get your rocker assm. I just took off junk jiffy from auger and will use my cordless on it.
It was a great auger for 9yrs without a hiccup. Parts is the problem. It might have just been my model also? Jiffy Pro4 Lite
