Weed trimmer engine problem

[Street Ryderz]

I cleaned carb with gasoline and nothing is cracked. Maybe I need to clean it also with compresed air. And again question: When I tighten that screw do I get more or less fuel?

Less fuel turning it in (tightening) it there is no air passage coupled to that valve it just meters the fuel flow thru it.

Now I have driven it and when I put down choke engine begins to die.. That means I need more fuel?

Just to clairify it runs with the choke on (air flow restricted) and dies with it off (air flow unrestricted) ?

Yes but power is very bad and when I put down choke let say on 1/2 it starts to die.

If the primer bulb has a bad check plate in it , it won't keep pulling fuel. that's why it runs choked maybe. From the looks of picture, you might replace it.

My primer bulb looks good and it is full of fuel so I think it is okay. You are probably looking steves picture.

So yes more fuel flow is needed!

The micro pin holes in those carbs are really hard to blow out, if you break it down far enough you'll have a better chance of clearing them out. I've had to take a piece of wire brush and use it to push varnish out of them.

So I will unscrew it tommorow to get more fuel and that is for engine running but for starting will that also affect start or do I need to do something else?

I dont think it would have that much effect on the idle circuit but it may help some!
