SRM-225

Note to add.

Turning it upside down, makes it rev higher. Turn it back over and the RPM's come back down slowly. But turn it upside down and it's almost immediate increase in RPMs.

And the inside of the muffler is wet.

Hello,

Yep,,,not sure if the hole goes into the cylinder or crankcase.

I was thinking a poorly made gasket might be partially blocking it. Or even installed upside down,,,been there done that.

I'll double check that. But a note to add, it was doing this when I was brought in. The carb, you could tell had been on it for a pretty long time. The air filter was shot. I guess it could've been using it that way. But I won't think so. Not this guy. Some folks, I wouldn't put it past them to use a weed eater at 3/4 rpm's. But since the man has two identical ones, I can't see it.
