I have heard a few with the same experience. 15 minutes for 2 holes is not very good by my standards. Another common problem they have is that for the first couple holes when they are cold you have to push the primer button every 5 seconds too keep it going. major pain in the butt when you are drilling by yourself. I have only used an eskimo auger once. I was very impressed with its performance. Not sure about their longevity but their price is cheaper I do believe. If you are going to be doing a lot of pike fishing I would recommend a 10 inch, otherwise an 8 will do.

I know exactally what your problem is i just had it with my jiffy. Too much oil. I followed the chart and everything, i gummed my spark plug right up and i had the exact same problem. Change the gas but when you fill the tank only put 2 caps full of oil in there, dont mix it in a jerry can i find there is just too much oil. Get a new spark plug, when you have the old one pulled spray some carb cleaner in there and pull the start cord while the plug is out and it will push alot of that oil and built up carbon out, do it a few times. Then put the new plug in and it will run like new.
