I bought this weedeater from a guy at the beginning of the summer this year. He bought it new in the fall of last year. It was used very little. I have used it regularly this year. Here lately, it has been bogging down when I give it the throttle. When I go to give it a prime for a cold start, the bulb is usually empty, and it never really fills up, even while I'm using it. When I first start it, it starts normally and idles like a champ, but when I give it gas, it will just bog down and die. Once I let it idle for about 3-5 minutes, it'll run great and I can throotle it all I want. The only thing I have done is cleaned the spark arrester, and tried to adjust the carb per the instruction manual. Neither thing changed it. I would like to be able to just go out, cold start it, and start weedeating. I can say that the only thing that really changed was the guy who had it before me was using 91 octane gas, but I switched it to 87. That shouldn't matter though, right? Let me know if I can fix this. Thank you!
