I attempted to adjust the carburetor needle valve by starting with the needle valve all the way out and turning using the Allen key adjustment tool to turn 1/4 turn at a time. This had no effect. Using a screwdriver to lift the carb piston still resulted in the engine rpm increasing. I started over in the full rich position and turned the Allen key 3 turns to the lean position. This had no effect. Any suggestions?</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Much appreciated,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> Chuck Kuhn</div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
