Hello everyone,
A friend of mine asked me to take a look at his FS36 (dinosaur) trimmer to troubleshoot an issue he had last year. He claimed the trimmer would only run on full choke and die when choke was opened. Sounded like a carb issue to me. He didnt winterize it and since he has brought it to me I have not been able to get it to run. I have replaced fuel lines, fuel filter, and primer bulb. Also replaced air filter and spark plug. I removed the carb and it appeared clean inside but have not rebuilt it. While trying to start it I have flooded it. Removed plug and it was wet. I have verified that I am getting spark at the plug. Not sure what else to do. Any help would be great!
