I inherited my grandfathers old auger. I suspect it has not been started for 10 years.

Should I take it in and have it professionally serviced or is it worth it?

Any thoughts

Thanks.

I wouldnt bother. Put a new spark plug and new gas/oil in it. Grease it if it has a nipple and you should be good to go.
