It sometimes jerks when at a idle. When I accelerate and close choke slightly it doesn’t change and or it dies sometimes. I did remove the bowl, the whole carburetor looks great like new and shiny no other color. I did not take high speed jet out because I didn’t have the tool.To get it to start I have to turn tiller as far as I can turn it, I just can’t put it in start position and hit the starter button to get it to start.( my grandfather had the starter put on so he could start it as he was handicaped). I don’t know if that matters I’m just trying to tell you all everything about it. And what is the right way to check compression and spark?
