Hi guys,
Ive had a problem with my weed eater for some time now and I can not stand it anymore. Its driving me crazy and I have to get it fixed.
The model is Craftsman 358.791070 - 32cc 2 cycle Weedeater
It will idle fine, no problems there. But when you give it a gas to try to rev it up to trim something it will immediately try to die (or will die). Gas is only about 2 months old. (manual says use gas no older than 30 days but I call BS on that)
Under the troubleshooting section of the manual it says-
Trouble
Engine will not accelerate, lacks power, or dies under a load
Cause
1 Air Filter Dirty
2 Spark Plug fouled
3 Carb requires adjustment
4 Carbon buildup on muffler screen
5 Compression low
I dont believe it is 1, 2 or 4. All those have been checked or replaced since problem started.
I dont think its 5 but not 100% sure.
I think its 3 but not sure what to adjust.
In the picture you can see the carb on the weedeater. I know the one screw (largest one at bottom) is the idle screw. Other than that no idea.
Can anyone help?
Thank you
