Hi! I have a Strikemaster Magnum III Plus that was left for a couple of years with gas in it and not run. Needless to say I started it the other day but it wouldn't stay running and was surging pretty good. I removed the carb which required me to remove the gas tank. I cleaned and reassembled and it started right up once the fuel got to the carb. It idles perfect now. The only problem is when I squeeze the throttle it does not rev up. On the bottom of the carb there is the throttle shaft with a flange that meets the idle screw. I turn this by hand and it revs right up. Looks like there is a hole in the flange for a spring that I think may be missing. Is there supposed to be a spring attached to this? If anyone has this auger could you take a pic of this so I can see what it is supposed to look like?
Thanks!!!!!
