    So I have an older eskimo stingray auger probably mid ninety s, not really sure, but anyways as soon as you start the auger begins to spin and doesn’t stop until you hit the off switch. I’ve tried adjusting idle doesn’t help at all, any ideas anyone?

    yeah it is fairly easy, just a little time consuming to tare down and get at the springs. i had two augers with the same symptoms as yours, and both times it was a broken clutch spring. good luck hope you getter fixed.
