Status: offline 		I know this is a model airplane forum BUT there are lots of engine guys in our ranks. I have a Weedwacker SST25 and it is a POS. It only starts if I folow the directions "EXACTLY". Once running you have to keep goosing it else it will die at low throttle. The idle speed screw is set to max but after a while it dies when I let it go below 1/2 throttle. There are two screws on the carb and I do not know which is the low needle and which is the high needle or which you adjust 1st????

These numbers are stamped on the othe side: 1037 and T669 ???

My K&B Sportsters run better than this.

Thanks
Francis

Status: offline 		I think I had a motor like that on a 4* 60. It was a little nose heavy, but had unlimited vertical!!! That's how I lost it. I got the nose up & gave it full throttle It went out of sight in about 2 seconds I imagine it's still going straight up & that was a year ago !!! I hope NASA don't give a call someday !!! Sorry Francis, I just couldn't resist ..

Status: offline 		The one closest to the engine is the idle mix. Back it out counter clockwise if you can, But I see no slot in it. May be a fixed jet. The one above with the philips/slot only controls the idle speed.
