Thanks Gary. There shouldn’t be any plugage in the carb after
thorough probing and pinesol soaking last Fall.
I can’t remember anything about the venturi. You mentioned it
was a replaceable part. Is it plastic or metal I wonder?
Suppose it could be buggered up.
I’ll try resetting the fuel needle back less from 3/4 turn open,
and fiddle with the shutter some more.
Not sure how much more "pulling" my shoulder will take today though!

P.S.- I can’t remember much about the exhaust silencer inner workings.
I do remember there’s another shutter in there to bottle up the
crankcase. Anyway, the silencer exhaust out the back of the
spring like tube, but it seems to be blowing air, not exhaust.
When I plug the tube hole with my finger, it does affect the engine rpms.
How do it work, and is it working correct? 🙂
