I have Poulan Weedeater 1400 which is not running well and want to adjust carb.
Who knows where the manual went.
It has 2 adjustment screws on right side of carb. looking from the back.
Does anyone know what each one is and how many turn each should be set for ?
If someone has a service manual or where I can get one.
Thanks for any help,
Getting kinda shaggy around the yard.

Apprentice level 2
The adjusment screws are marked L for low
speed, and H for high speed, the initial
settings are: turn in to closed position,
then back out 1 1/8 turn for both. Adjust
the low speed screw for best idle and acceleration, set the high speed at top speed
for best performance, if you can hear a slight miss sound at wide open throttle, this
is the correct setting, on this particular
engine, the air filter makes quite a difference to the settings, so after setting
them with the filter out, put it back in after cleaning it and check for proper
performance again.
