My issues were basically hard starting, nothing more. I couldn’t identify any reason for it as far as damaged or worn components, so I figured I needed a way to get the adjustments back to spec and start from there so I could properly diagnose it.
Once I got the tools and could get all the settings dialed in, I was able to determine that I just needed to make some mixture adjustments that were most likely necessary to compensate for wear. It’s been working fine ever since. A good purchase, as I would have otherwise just tossed the thing and bought a new one. -D > On Dec 1, 2017, at 11:13 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > >> On December 1, 2017 at 7:49 PM Craig via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> >> wrote: > >> "funky carb adjusting tools from Amazon." >> >> Is that a brand name? :-) > > Unfortunately there are now several carb adjustment screw heads on outdoor > power equipment which are designed to not be able to be turned with common > tools.
