I have a weed eater HD4QE22SC push mower that will start, the blade will turn, but it will not remain running. It has gas, air filter is clean, full oil, spark plug works. What's wrong with it and how do i fix it?
If it only runs for a few seconds after starting, the problem could be the main jet of the carburetor which is the brass bolt that holds the lower carb bowl on the carburetor. Remove it, inspect it and clean it...paying real close attention to the area on the bolt where there are no threads as there are very small holes there that have to be clear for the carb to get a continually good gas flow.
