Strikemaster cobra auger problems

[Randy Kaar]

I have a friends auger to sell, But when you start it the auger turns at idle. The clutch must be locked up. Any Idea's?

thanks

Take it into Strikemaster in Big Lake. Their customer service is bar none and they will help you out.

likely the clutches are stuck.
the clutches are steel, without padding and the drum is steel as well. if it has sat for a while I could easily see this being the case.
maybe a possible broken clutch spring. another easy fix.
excessively high idle would also do this, as it would cause the clutches to engage the clutch drum.
a simple fix.

Thanks guys! It has sat for who knows how long... It idles ok, The auger keeps spinning. Will
have to take it apart this fall.
