Questions & Answers
I have a Power Drill by Ardisam model 8500 and the Powerhead needs to be replaced. It has a 1 3/4" shaft with a diameter of 7/8". I would like to reuse the 6" auger. Can you verify it is compatible with the Earthquake 43cc powerhead from Home Depot?
Hi Mike, This powerhead will work with your current 6" auger.
I have an earthquake auger that does not have spark took off kill wire cleaned flywheel contacts bought a new coil and still no spark, I set air gap at .010 any ideas willy
Please contact our wonderful support team at 800-345-6007 for detailed trouble shooting.
Wat type of gas and oil
The gas to oil ratio for this powerhead is 50:1. You can use a 50:1 premixed fuel, or mix it yourself using 2-cycle engine oil designed for air-cooled engines.
what size is the shaft? 3/4'?
3/4 inch and it works great///I have drilled approx 65 holes and no problem.
The output shaft is 7/8" on this powerhead.
do you have to check gearbox oil ?
The gear case has 4 oz. of grease installed at the factory. It is recommended that once a year the gear case be split and the grease level checked. Add grease only if level of grease is below top of the gears.
No 2 cc mix
Does it have reverse mode if it gets stuck ?
No on the reverse, it works well if you drill a little bit and pull it back out, drill a little bit and pull it back out
No, this model does not have reverse.
No it does not. However, I have used mine for many years., and have never had that problem
no it does not I am a woman and it got stuck several times with me but I was able to work with it to get it out.
There is no reverse on these augers. If by chance it gets stuck in the ground, remove the powerhead and shimmy the auger bit back and forth until you are able to remove it.
No, it does not.
No, Forward only, I have used it for around 100 holes using the 6" and 10" augers with out getting stuck. if it bogs down just pull up till it recovers
Unfortunately no. I haven't had a problem with mine getting stuck. I've cut through roots and not gotten it stuck. I live in Georgia and it's that red clay type soil with rocks and roots. What type of soil do you have?
does home depot sell replacement parts for this particular item 43 cc Earth Auger Powerhead
yes//on line different size Augers
No, but you can order then direct at www.getearthquake.com or call our customer service/sales department direct at 715-345-6007.
Fuel runs freely thru carb into cylinder what is the problem
the float in the carb maybe stuck open.
I'm not sure what your question is. Is it not starting? Is it cutting out when you're using it? Make sure you are using the correct fuel:oil mix. If it isn't starting, make sure the on/off button is in the on position before starting to pull. This machine can be difficult to start at times. If all of the above are correct and it's not starting after 6 - 8 pulls, set aside for a few mintutes, then try again. If the problem is that it's cutting out while in use, I couldn't say why that would be.
I am sorry sorry to hear that. Please call our technical support team at 1-800-345-6007 so that we can specifically diagnose the trouble you are having.
