Hello Everyone, If you do not mind, I would like to ask for help with a small two stroke engine that drives the tines on my Mantis tiller. I am frustrated because I cannot get it to run with any power. I cleaned up the plug, regapped it and put back in place. I then emptied all of the old gas out and refilled with new gas and oil (50:1). I then adjusted the carb, following the manual instructions. I can get it running and it idles well. When running I sprayed carb cleaner in the carb to clean it up. The problem is that the adjusting screws on the carb seem to do nothing when they are adjusted. When I go to throttle the engine it has no power. I cannot get a smooth transition to full throttle without hesitation, then stalling. What would you guys do? I am about to tear apart the carb and see about cleaning it up. It seems like all of the small engines I have ever had only run well for a couple of years (except chainsaw engines, which seem to run and run) then go south. Thanks for any tips. Tim, Ohio
