The Solo motors are great. I have one on my ProLazer. It fires right up every time. The 3 HP motor punches a 10" hole through thick ice with no problem.

Love it.

Solos are great. The only trick is to closely follow the instructions when starting them and the instructions are very simple.. Every problem I heard about them involved not following the starting instructions. Also make sure yiou lie the auger down the right way. Not hard to tell as they have two little projections on the side that should touch the ground. Simple stuff but if follwed the auger will fire up everytime and run forever.
