Ok, this trimmer won't idle anymore. I have to keep enough gas to it that the head spins almost full speed to keep it from dying. I think I've had it about 4 years. It has a simple 1 SCREW IDLE, no high low to adjust.
I'm at the end of my rope on this thing after the new carb part# 308480001......here is what I've changed.
- new carb (even disassembled and cleaned the old one with no blockages just maybe the diaphragm and check valves worn)
- new fuel lines
- new fuel filter
- cleaned air filter
- cleaned muffler and spark arrestor is clean
- new spark plug
- new two cycle liquid and gas
- put thumb over spark plug hole, pulled rope and pressure pushes thumb out of way
- checked fuel port at piston head
- new primer bulb
- cleaned gas cap vent and even ran with gas cap loose to prove no vapor lock issue
Can you all think of anything else I'm missing?
