Hi all! I picked up a non-running Stihl BG 85 blower from my father in law. I replaced and gapped the spark plug, replaced the air and fuel filters, cleaned the fuel tank, put in fresh fuel, and adjusted the carburetor. It starts easily now and idles smoothly, but won't reach full power. The throttle responds quickly, it seems like it reaches full power for a second, then it bogs down to low power. Adjusting the high speed screw as far out as the stop will let me (3/4 turn) gets it to run at higher power, but it spews blue smoke and runs really hot.
Any ideas on what the issue is or how to fix it? Thanks!
