Did you read my post??? and did you understand it??? adjusting the (should be seal locked) top speed adjustment will not give any joy to an engine that cannot hold power at even half speed, so you have wasted a bit of day light here, check the stop control on top of the pump first, then if that is g...

If the engine starts, runs but cannot dig "Cotton Wool" your first thing to check after the air filter is the stop control, remove the stop cable from the lever and check the lever is set on the spindle correctly, then with the lever pushed all the way forward into the run position try the...
