I used a Dremel cut wheel to notch both screw heads for a standard screw driver. Had to notch the protruding side covers around the screws on the carb that prevent access to the screws as well, be careful not to cut into carb or surrounding hardware, thus preventing damage to unit. It works like a champ after fine tuning carb don't even need to choke it for starting.
With the added ethanol in some gas now most carburetors need a little fine tuning or it won't run efficiently.

My machine didn't run idle either. Took carburator apart of the Sst 25. Cleaned it with gasoline and a brush. But no luck. Figured it must be the nozzle of the idle. There are two more or less hidden black adjustment screws for the nozzles (idle and gas). I used a plastic tube from a ballpoint to take screw out, ran some air through it, reassembled it and now the machine runs smooth again...

remove the cover and the screw holding the recoil down, turning the pulley ccw should release the spring then wind rope around pulley and (hopefully yours has the slot in it) wind in the direction of the pulley teeth then, holding rope in slot put back on spring and wind cw till almost tight, and install screw. Usually you can do this without taking rope handle off. sometimes you have to remove handle. look at spring end in the middle and make sure its not broke as long as you have it apart. Its a easy fix.
Thanks for using fixya
SOURCE: what is the oil to gas ratio for the husqvarna
Most trimmers use a 40:1 ratio on fuel mixture. Check the gas tank on your trimmer, as some manufacturers label it as an imprint in the plastic tank itself.
Hope this helps,

Under what conditions does it bog down? When it just idles? Cold or hot? When you give it gas? When you try to cut?
