My brother was cultivating his pumpkins with his 550 when it started running rough and then it wouldn't restart for him. He pulled the carb off and soaked it in my carb cleaner after taking it apart (not sure how far) and re assembled it, but the best we can manage is a couple pops or few seconds running and it quits again. All he has is the ever-so-not-informative I&T manual which has no information on where to set the carb.
I set the top screw to 1 1/2 turns out, same as the bottom, and fiddled with it a little either way from there, but no luck.
Anyone know where it needs to be set? I already suggested he find some real manuals for his 550 but it went in one ear & out the other.
I also told him to just buy a rebuild kit for it & I would then do it for him if he wanted me to. We'll see how far that goes.
