An older video, but very relevant to my experience with this tool. I bought mine and used it over several days in very rocky soil, putting in uprights for a retaining wall. It worked great. I drained the fuel, ran it out, and stored it. Six months later... nothing. Couldn't get it to run at all. I practically rebuilt it and still couldn't get it to run. I now have a nearly brand new, inoperable, earth auger. Money not well spent. I am curious to know if yours is still running. I have read numerous stories about this and other brands that just stop running without an obvious reason.

Can you post a link in the description of where you bought this?
I added the link thanks for the suggestion I had no idea I could do that!
