FOD is right. Ice auger motors have a screw vent on the gas cap. If you don't open that valve before you start the motor it will slowly create a vacume against the pull of the carb, thereby starving the motor of fuel. Just make sure you close it when you shut the motor off. Especially if you lay the auger on the ice instead of drilling a stand hole (you're gas will leak out the vent. it doesn't make for a good fishing day)
