It starts and idles fine, but won't continue running when I pull the trigger to accelerate it to weed eating speed. you can pull the trigger and it revs, but hold it, and it dies. yesterday I had to rev the trigger to cut anything, and had to restart a million times. I was determined, but annoyed. i can fix it, i know it. HELP
The above was previously reported and it also describes my problem accurately. The solution reported was to ajust the carborator i.e. air mixture and idle. I cannot find an air mixture screw and the owners manual does not identify one. Help please.
Definatley running out of fuel. this sounds dumb-just check it. the fuel line from the tank to carb is made of tygon, it gets hard and cracks allowing air to enter fuel line and lean out the unit,sometimes till it quits. also drain the fuel from the tank, look in tank, youll see a hose with a weighted fuel filter in the end of it, get a peice of wire,carfully pull it out and chack for cracks or a broken off 'clunk' fuel filter. then which is hard, the fuel pump-a little built in vacume diaphram in the carb that re-verberates with engine vacume and pumps fuel at high demand times. there will be a metal cover on the carb with a hole in the middle, carfully remove the screws ans the diaphram will be part of the gasket so dont rip it or youll need a carb rebuild kit. look for rips or tears or a broken return spring. also make sure the carb hasnt loosened up from the engine, this will cause a vacume leak and then the pump wont keep up. check the lines first that what you will probably find. good luck!
