Hi,
Ok! I got it! Here's what the problem was,to sort of help the next guy. When I opened up the carb side that holds the spring loaded needle valve inside I checked everything (for the third time!) and everything looked good as before. Then I noticed the gasket and diaghram, the diaghram was against the body of the carb and the gasket was against the cover. I thought maybe that is to close to the needle valve lever so I switched them and put the gasket next to the carb body. Reinstalled and the trimmer started on the FIRST PULL!! Unreal!

Thanks Fish I learned something today!
Nice to learn something but when you are taking something apart that you have not worked on take a picture.

Hi,
Well, I should of looked more carefully at the schematic for this carb! What was good though was that I thought it through and sort of figured it out! I only have 65 PSI on compression but both of the trimmers run pretty good now!
