Motor not running right, not rapping up correctly, checked plug and air filter tried adjusting carb screws, no luck. runs better with choke halfway on or if you block air output rpms increase. thanks bob
Changed all major gaskets: Cylinder to crankcase, case half, exhaust & carb. Now it runns right. The carb can be adjusted and the choke is full open when warmed up as it's supposed to be.
Gaskets ca be bought from Homelite directly at http://www.homelite.com/service_support/order_parts

Check the fuek lines for hole and leaks, check the fuel filter and clean if necessary. remove the carbuerator and inspect the gasket; it should be soft and flexible, if it seems hard or brittle replace it. clean the carb with carb cleaner sray (available at any local auto parts store) and compressed air. make sure you get inside the small fuel rail holes. check the primer bulb for pin holes and seating/sealed properly. if that doesn't work have the carb repaired at a service center or replaced.

check the cylinder to crankcase joint. Mine bubbles as the crankcase is no longer sealed. It did this before & I tightened up the long screws clamping the cylinder on the case. Worked for a while & leaked again. I got a full gasket set but need correct torque values before I rebuild it.
was running just fine then just shut off just heard motor winding down
