[QUOTE="sshev, post: 39500, member: 4446"] Well, tried again today...it runs great for about 5 minutes, then it starts to bog down with any load at all, smells like its running rich, and when I pull the air cleaner hose off, it looks wet and has unburned gas in the plastic air intake chamber. I pulled the carb off and made sure the needle valve wasn't hanging up, but it acts like its loading up with way to rich a mixture. There are two screws on top of the carb. that I would guess to be mixture and/or idle speed adjustments, they both have limiting tabs that keep them from turning more than about a quarter turn. The engine is a Honda GX670. [/QUOTE]
