All it does is spit, sputter, backfire, sometimes starts backwards. When it does start it runs for a short time, backfires and quits. Played with need valve some. It was close to 3 turns out. I have the manual , and I rest it back to factory settings at 1 3/4 turns. No change at all. Any help or advise would be appreciated.
