Yes, Keep mowing my friend...

I just remembered - the choke being the brass piece is in a slot in the plastic shaft. with the choke open, wiggle the choke plate a little and try choking again to see if it seats better or with the choke closed use a pick or small screwdriver and wiggle the plate to see if u can get it to...

You can get them at HarborFreight or else look up Oxygen-Acetylene Torch Tip Cleaner Kit with 12 Stainless Steel Reamers at Home Depot.

Sorry but for a second i pictured you in my head looking like the Dos Equis Guy.

Looking it up, it was made by Poulan. There is a pic of what looks like yours (but with the Poulan colors) on a 91 sales brochure. Poulan brochure

I didn't pay attention when i saw them but looking at the backpack trimmer pic, it looks like it does have an adjustment screw.

Here are some pics of machines in Japan\Taiwan in addition to the "Battlestar Galactica" blower i posted before. A "see how the other side lives" if u will. Asia equipment
