so i got my new carb for my 32cc trimmer today. so i hooked the thing all up and i got it running, but only on half choke. also it was pretty hard to start. i tried setting the idle adjustment but it didnt really do alot. i can also hit the throttle when idling and the rpms get high without the throttle being on. what should i do next? try to mess with the carb screws? thanks in advance.

Are you sure you don't have any vacuum leaks?
