Any suggestions or "how tos" on adjusting the carb on these? Everything I look up is a "how to" on removing the brass plug covering the set screw, which I have already done (on both).
Both run OK when hot but are tough starting and will not idle when cold. Googling around some sites referred to the carb screw as an idle adjustment, but I cannot detect any difference turning it from one extreme to the other while idling. I can hear a distinct change under full throttle, and have tweaked it midway several times, but it seems to have minimal impact on the starting / cold idle situation. The spark plug, fuel filter and air filter are all new this season.
I did read a few threads on cleaning the breather cap and spark arrestor, and plan on doing that today, but still want to make sure the carb adjustment is as good as can be.
Thanks!
