I have a Craftsman convertible weed eater, 25cc (I think) and when I pull the trigger to get a fast speed it just dies out. Sounds like it's out of gas. If I "pump" the trigger sometimes it will run fast. Do these things have a governor on them? It's a two cycle engine. Any advice welcome.
Thanks Jimmy
I suppose it could be several things but I had a similar problems with a Stihl.
Thanks to this newsgroup, I determined that the small screen in the muffler was clogged and needed to be cleaned. I just removed the screen and it worked just fine.
I think the purpose of the screen is for spark suppression.
Thanks Jimmy
It could be running to rich, a dirty air filter, wrong oil mix, choke on, or adjust the air mix screw leaner
My screen was clogged , I removed mine also it made a big difference.
