Most are pretty simple the carb linkage should have a small moon shaped disc with three or four small adjustment holes for the bent tip of the throttle cable. After attaching the cable to the handle and snaking it to the carb. There is a small clamp that will hold the cable in the adjusted position .slide the end under the clamp and then connect to one of the holes on the linkage..slightly tighten the clamp and slowly move the handle unti the handle goes the full travel..then check to see it the carb linkage goes to full throttle and backs off to idle..if it does not..loosen the clamp and keep adjusting to get the desired full throttle and idle..May have to play with it a couple of times but it will adjust..good luck..
first make sure the motor isn't engaged when trying to start it, and If it has been sitting for awhile, (in between seasons), It's likely that the carb is clogged, try cleaning it out, make sure the spark plug is firing correctly. And if it's getting spark, and its getting fuel, but still wont start, then the carb may need adjusting.
i'm having the same problem. cleaned carb but didn't help. I found that if I spray starting fluid on the gasket between the carb and the motor it speeds up. I'm going to try to find a new gasket, I can't tighten it anymore.
Good luck
Sounds like you are speaking of the float bowl.
It should not have a hole in it.
You could purchase the part from Sears or a small engine shop.
If it were mine, I'd remove the bowl, clean it, and patch with a gasoline impervious material such as JB weld.
Needs a carb kit. Go to any small engine repair shop or to a sears outlet store that has a good craftsman parts section. They will sell you a carb kit for around $20 bucks. Your carb most likely needs a new needle valve and the float adjusted. There is a good chance that there is **** in the bowl as well. These carbs are easily rebuilt and it should only take you about 1 hour to put a new kit in it. Everything you need will be in the kit. If you need further assistance. Go into google and search for tech information for that carb. The name will be on the bowl or on the side of the carb body. I hope this helps Regards VTX Guy
