mine is a "viper" brand engine.
never heard of it? nobody has....
but at least it has the "cool" name factor! "torch" spark plug, "earthquake" tiller, "viper" engine! cool man,very cool.
kill switch works every third time
the real bummer about the "Torch" plug is they wrote BM6A on it. NGK makes a BM6A so that should be easy right? Well, they are two different lengths.
I need to go match it up to something and take a wild guess at a heat range. 43cc 2 stroke. Does not rev real high.
I have an Earthquake post hole auger. Tecumseh engine. Works ok. That's as ringing of an endorsement as I'll give.
my brother has an auger that we have used to place literally thousands of pine trees with nary a hitch. the only problem is that recently the recoil does not rewind all of the way. probably a spring replacement would get it back to 100%, but it starts everytime and the cord only hangs a few inches. not that any of this reflects on the quality of the chainsaw. the auger was bought in '94 and has the tecumseh engine.
Welcome! Several of us have them as well. Mine is ported and the muffler is opened up and runs very well. Here is a thread you may find interesting - there is some actual info in there along with all the BS! http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/214984.htmI bought the 38cc earthquake saw. It's cold natured but when it warms up it runs and cuts like a champ. I throws big wood shavings. I have only had it for a week but so far I like it but it's no stihl or husky It doesn't have the power like they do. I have a husqvarna 235 e-series that is only 34cc and it has a lot more power than the earthquake. I got my eqrthquake on sale for $100 at sears.
The price (IIRC, about $160) seems attractive, but like all things, you get what you pay for.
That's not always true.

This summer I'm going to try and blow up a 38 cc Earthquake saw by running it the normal way you use a chain saw it only has a few tanks thru it now but it sure runs strong now in no means does it run with my Stihl's and other brands I do have
It does have some simple mod's to it and it sure woke up after those mod's
