Default Rapala Enduro 51 cc Auger cutting issue

I bought the Enduro 2 years ago and for the most part it has been okay. Mind you my first day I pulled the cord on the ice and it snapped right then and there on the ice. Fired up fine in the garage prior to, so confident in my new piece of machinery I didn't bring out my spare hand auger. It turned out there was a small bur on the inside of the coil. Second the gas on and off switch busted 3 outings ago when I went to switch it on there was slight resistance and from the cold it snapped. Stuck on so I continued to use it that day and choked it out when I wanted it to shut off. Now I am having problems cutting, Its just not the same from my first year. There is slight chatter and takes a while longer, I checked the angle of the blades, also replacing both with a new 10" set. Is this an issue with most power augers with the cutting by chance? I have looked it up and down with a magnifying glass and there just seems to be something off. I heard of guys cutting pop cans and sliding them in as a shim. Would like to hear some other opinions or stories maybe I am missing something. Not my first time using a power auger but my first time owning so I can tell the difference when there is a lack in performance. Thoughts?
