If I run the choke a little closed it ok. My first thought was the muffler was getting carbon. I took it off and it is ok. The air filter is ok. I checked the fuel filter and it is ok, I think, it is nice and white and no crud on it. I put new spark plug in it, no help. It just plain acts like it is lean fuel. It has those carb. adjustments that you can't turn. Is there a tool to get to it to adjust the carb? [Reply]   [No Email]

There is a rubber diaphram that gets old and stiff and a couple of little flapper check valves that also get old and do not work too well.   [Reply]   [No Email]
