I have a Strikemaster Lazer Xpress Auger about 5 years old. I drained the gas last fall, and added new gas mixed with strikemaster 2 cycle oil this year. Checked plug and it's getting a spark. Will not start, I noticed that there is no fuel in the rubber gas line. Took off tank, and cleared both ends of line to ensure there was no obstruction. When I pour fuel or seafoam directly into the carb in the air intake, it will start but only briefly. Probably only until the fuel burns off. Any ideas? Could it be as simple as a fuel line, or do I need to get carb rebuilt. If so, is there anywhere in the south metro that rebuilds or repairs augers?

Well I checked on stands over the weekend. Kind of a disaster.
All the ditches are plum full and twice as wide becauase muskrats have clogged an area. I spent an hour unclogging it and the water is slowly moving again, but our bridges and planks were underwater. The back portion of the land where the best stand is was inaccessible. Hopefully that changes by Saturday. I have a feeling the muskrats are just going to clog it back up again.
Tons of standing corn still too. They've started on it, but being so wet now with more rain coming, whatever's there will remain there for the foreseeable future.
All the grassland is completely flattened like a pancake due to 3-4 inches of heavy wet snow. That eliminates about 75% of the pheasant habitat in this spot. Total buzz kill. And this specific spot was one of my better producers last season because the grass was intact and lush through December last year.
