Here is the pictures of the auger. i traded a saw for it. it starts on starting fluid. Gas in the tank smells bad so ill change that out and clean the carb to see if that is all it needs before buying a carb kit. Has a walbro on it. Im up in minnesota.

I have done some research on this auger and cant find anything. i have heard ( from the guy i got it from ) that this auger was only available in Canada to certain dealers only. not to be sold to general public? anyone know anything this auger?

If it has a Walbro. It is possibly a fs90 engine, and someone put a fs80 starter on it. Some company up there likely bought the powerheads from Stihl, and made these in the late 70s or early 80s.

Very Interesting! This makes sense. looks like things are re-configured ( gas tank, air filter, exhaust? )

Is this tool strong enough to drill dirt also for fence posts ?
I'm pretty confident it'd bore a hole in dirt, what dirt is harder than ice really? That plus the fact that the engine is probably a damn sight torquier than the newer Stihl post hole borers
