Just curious, did you ever clean out the little screen in the muffler called the "spark arrester"?
I have "fixed" a number of small heavily used 2 cycle powered devices by doing just that. Most would barely run and full throttle acted like the choke was on. 73, Charlie k3ICH -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ben Hall Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2015 6:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Bucket treatment > I've had a considerable amount of satisfaction using a sledgehammer. When we first moved into this house, cash was tight, so I bought *the cheapest* gas-powered weed-eater I could find. Worked fine for about three years, then it started running poorly. No matter what I did, plugs, carb cleaning, fresh gas, etc., it ran poorly until one day it kept quitting. Finally got so pissed off that I grabbed it by the cutter end and swung it over my head into the driveway, bashing it into bits multiple times. :) VERY stress relieving. Replaced it with a Husqvarna. While not Elecraft quality, it's very, very nice and makes weed-eating almost fun. thanks and 73, ben, kd5byb __________________________________________________ ____________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
