Hello I have some ice augers that need new cylinders but can not find any and they don't make new ones. Can some one give me a hand locating some?? Model numbers are av520 670154u 3hp and # av520 6701195 3hp as well
Thanks

Going to have to find some junked engines. With all the high scrap prices a lot of that stuff is forever gone. Might be cheaper to just buy a new ice auger.

Just what is wrong with the old cylinders? Repairable? Can they be bored? Just a few scour marks ?, re hone and a set of new rings? I got a engine running this pass early spring doing that. Some of the older engines you just can't get parts for anymore and you might have to repair what you have.

One has a grove u can get your nail into pretty deep and goes 1/2 way down the cylinder from a needle bearing I think in the crank maybe. Can't remb what was wrong with the other.

Yes I do agree with you with the proper repair if that is possible. What I was talking about is a last resort repair between junking them or just trying to get them running. I have seen some deep and long digs in the cylinders and still get them running. This is back in my younger years working on 2 cycle snowmobile engines when we didn't have parts and we had snow for a week end run and a last resort repair.
