haha, no im not the best speller to begin with. thanks man, imma go pull that screen off right now. i just looked in the book to make sure i was looking at the right thing and how to take it out since its a new trimmer I dont want to mess it up. you can see where its all clogged, maybe this thing will run MUCH better now that the carb has been adjusted and the screen will be off.

Matthew, all you have to do is adjust the bottom screw on the unit. The mechanic at joes showed me a while back. I forgot which way but you should be able to hear the difference. It will let it run without shutting off. Don't turn it too far becuase the head will spin at idle and will be running too fast.
