If you have the TB2BP EC Troybilt backpack and it bogs down or begins to stall out at full throttle with choke in FULL OPEN try the following: 1. Do the simple stuff first, Check spark plug, air filter and clean or replace if necessary. 2. Remove air filter cover, open choke and spray out the carb with carb cleaner. 3. Inspect carb and look for a flat surfaced screw with a small V notch on the side of it. It will be on the top side just forward of where the fuel lines connect. If you find it don't waste any more time looking for the High and Low fuel adjustment screws (there aren't any) this is the only adjustment other than the throttle adjustment screw you'll find. 4. Start your blower allow time for it to warm up and advance choke as far open as you can without stalling motor (mine just suddenly wouldn't run in anything other than full choke). 5. With motor running, adjust the screw to improve operation. Depending on your initial choke setting you may have to adjust, open choke to next position and fine tune. 6. Note- clockwise reduces fuel to carb, while counter clockwise increases it (if it's stalling when you attempt to throttle up it's starved for fuel) I'm sure there's a tool designed so that some tech can charge you 100.00 to turn the adjustment screw 1/4 turn but I found that a pair of fine needle nose pliers did just fine. Pay attention to original position of the V notch and what adjustments you make ( I tend to make 1/4 turns and fine tune from there) so you can always go back to your starting point. Note I'm not a technician so I can't say this the fix for your machine but it worked on mine.
Does it have two adjusting screws for the fuel mixture? It sounds like the high-speed needle is set too lean, or that the high-speed jet or the fuel line to the jet is clogged. I am not familiar with that model. The symptom indicates not enough fuel/too much air. If it IS a mixture adjustment that is needed, you might be able to confirm that by gradually building up speed by momentarily triggering the throttle repeatedly or by very gradually increasing the throttle.
