I guess this is a general question but related to the above-referenced machine. It was running crappy... starting but difficult to keep going. Ran pretty well on 1/2 choke for a bit but ultimately, couldn't keep it going for longer than 20 seconds or so. I decided to reseat the adjustment screws to start and make adjustments before pulling the carb and going through it. The high and low were way out, several turns each. After seating, I set them at 1 - 1/2 turns. It starts much better but when I give it throttle, nothing happens. There's no change.
I would think that when that butterfly opens, something would happen. Stall, bog, rev...but nothing. Like I wasn't even pulling the throttle. What does this mean? I wasn't expecting that result. Trying to wrap my brain around how there would be a condition in which this would happen, except for a disconnected throttle cable.
Thanks
