What do you mean by load, pushing the gas?

 

[tyler]

like when u start to trimmer the grass it just dies

 

[2or3wheels]

Does it smoke alot?

 

[tyler]

sometimes it does

A pic og the machine would be nice. Get to the carb. there should be 2 screws sticking up that are noticible one say H one L. Find em?

 

[tyler]

is it because it is getting tomuch fuel or not enoght

 

[2or3wheels]

Probly to much if turning the screw one way makes it worse then go the other way.

 

[tyler]

ok i will tell u wat happens

A little more help; H might also be Hi it sets the amount of gas used on high RPM or when you put more gas (press the throttle) and L or Lo is for the amount of gas used when the engine runs on idle. There is usually also an idle screw for adjusting the idle RPM.

 

[2or3wheels]

Right exactly and because it will idle it has to be the high one, but chainging that can sometimes change the low. so youll have to find a balance.

 

[tyler]

well i tried it and it isn;t dieing on me so thanks everyone
