2 cycle weedwacker bogging down and stalling when trigger's squeezed? Quick repair to run smooth.
Published at : October 30, 2021
Did you just buy a new 2 cycle weedwacker, leaf blower or other 2 cycle equipment and you notice it wanting to bog down and stall out when you squeeze the trigger, or have had one that's had this issue for ahwile?
The reason this is happening is because they are being set too lean at the factory to meet emissions standards. The unfortunate issue with that is the engine is not set to run at optimum performance.
Simply purchase a set of epa screwdrivers that match the head of the screw and dial your unit it until it runs smoothly. Locate the high speed screw usually marked with an H and turn it out while your finger is on the trigger. The unit should run smooth without any bogging, hesitation or stalling. If your unit is stalling out on you while your finger is not on the trigger, than your idle screw which is usually a Phillips head, is out too far, screw it in, just intil the unit runs at low speed without stalling, dont set it too low, the engine has to run fast enough to stay properly lubricated. Running an engine too slow or too lean will result in a scored cylinder bore and loss of compression, preventing the unit from starting. It is always best to run a 2 cycle engine slightly rich for longevity of the engine.
One other thing you can do is make sure your air filter is clean, a dirty one will prevent enough air from entering the carburetor and will also mimick a carburetor out of adjustment.
Here is a link to the carb adjustment screwdrivers. I have found that the Pac-man shaped one will work on most of these screws except the small splined. If you have the small splined screws order that specific screwdriver. Either that or look at which screws your unit has and buy that specific shaped screwdriver.
