What type of fuel should I use?

Check fuel level, ensure the choke is correctly set, and inspect the spark plug. Refer to the manual for specific starting instructions.
Auger is not digging
Check if the drill head is securely attached, the ground is not overly rocky or compacted, and that you are applying appropriate downward pressure.
Engine runs but the drill bit does not turn
