Won't Idle

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

It is the screw.  You should not be able to turn it by hand.  The engine is vibrating looser and looser, eventually it has too little gas to burn correctly at idle.  Go to a dealer.  You will have to buy the whole screw at approx 10.00, but I have not found a suitable replacement o-ring that would last...

Good Luck,
  David
