He should be able to fix you up. I just fixed one that was having the same problem you described. good luck and good fishing.
Yes it has the air screw on the gas cover and I always open it when starting and running. Based on reading the many possible things that it could be I think I will bring it over to Daves SM Engine on Rte 27 in Raymond. I hear he is pretty good.Thanks again..
