Okay fellas, here's the deal. I have a 3hp Tecsumeh engine jiffy and it bogs down/wont drill when under a load. Things I've done: Changed spark plug, put new fuel in, sprayed carb cleaner in the h/l adjustment screw holes and blew out with air and adjusted the carb screws currently set at: H- 1 1/4 turn from tight L- 3/8 turn from tight. I've adjusted the screws up and down to no avail. Do I need a new carb kit or to take it to a small engine mechanic.
Thanks!
