i ran a 3hp jiffy for many years. you need to figure out what it wants you to do to start it. if that makes sense? when mine was cold full choke prime 3 times pull till it fired. choke off pull till it started. if it didn't start after no choke, prime a couple more times - no more choke. after its first start of the day - no more choke again. if it didn't start after a couple pulls, 3 more primes and away she went. it flooded very easily. ran like a champ for many years, but in my mind it was finicky to start and if i didn't follow a ritual it would flood. i'm sure some other jiffy guys can shed some light for you as well.

was your auger flooded? no choke no prime hold the throttle wide open and pull till it fires. no go let it sit for a bit, and try that again.
