I have been working with my VAC carb for some time now trying to get it to run right again. I
have taken it apart and cleaned it several times but it still has not helped much. It starts hard
if you let it set a few hours and will sputter and cough blue smoke while surging on startup.
Then it will settle down and lose most of the blue smoke. Well today after another cleaning I was
trying to get it set right so it wouldn't sputter and surge which it was doing while running. I
eventually got it somewhat dialed in but that was with the needle screw approximately two turns
out and the idle screw all the way in (as in bottomed out).
I mounted the big blade to smooth some dirt at my brother's place and it was particularly
frustrating having to dismount and repeatedly adjust both screws to get synchronized.
Does it sound like I have air leaking in somewhere or is something else amiss?
Thank you for the help!
