Hi stanw71
Before you remove or try to adjust your low and high speed jets you should always count the number of turns it takes to lightly seat the idle mixture screw and high speed needle adjusting screws.
Be sure to write the number of turns down on a piece of paper so you will know how many turns from the seated position to open the jets when you go to reinstall them, or if you remove them for cleaning or replacement.
If you have aready tried to adjust them then the adjustments below should get it running for you for final adjustment when warm.
Normally you will adjust your idle jet to 1/2-3/4 turn open from the bottom seated position.
Then you will re-adjust the low speed of the engine when the engine is warm by turning the idle screw in or out till the engine runs smoothly at idle speed, around 1200 RPM.
The high speed jet is adjusted to 1 1/2- 1 3/4 open from the bottom seated position, after the engine is warm.
Then re-adjusted by turning the High Speed jet adjustment screw in or out till the motor runs smoothly at high speed.
Alway use the "lightly seated" method if you have not changed the screw settings.

I'm not sure if you are a mechanic that works on small motors or not...but I respect the way you answered that question. When I see someone say things like you can do some adjustment with that idling screw but anything more... help need to take it to a dealer. That is absolutely ridiculous and it gats me more than mad...not everyone will have the money for that and need to fix it themselves. So appreciate your answer and with great detail. To the rest that need help with this or other things... don't listen to someone telling you to take it to the dealer a repair shop. You can do anything on those small motors.....just have to dig till you get an explanation such as this one I am commenting on. Good luck and if you truly don't believe you can't do it...then definitely go to a shop or dealer bur trust me if you take the time and get it figured out...then you will be able to help the next person that's dealing with the same issue.
