Do they all lose power when they get warm? Or do I need to do some adjustments on the high side?
Or does the newer ryobi lower end($99) 2 stroke just suck balls now compared to 10-15 years ago. |

New suck balls. EPA made it so the carbs are non-adjustable without special tools and from the factory they are lean to be in compliance with emission rules. Thanks for clearing that up.. google was not being too helpful. I figured it was running lean... And I also noticed that the adjustmet screws were just round with a little keyslot on it. Where are my needle nose pliers now haha. |

Stihl chainsaws and ECHO trimmers for the win.And yes once again the EPA is screwing us  I am guessing the same thing needs to be done with any NEW Stihl, and Echo's and any other 2 stroke.. gotta tweak the needles. Ya, they usually need adjusting after a break in.Tools are available on Amazon and other places fairly cheap. |

Take cover off. Dremmel slots in adjustment screws. Reassemble. Start up, warm up, adjust mixture, enjoy.  Yup! That was plan A, but I am out of dremel cutting wheels right now.. so just gonna buy a pacman tool to adjust the needles. I did cut slots in mine. It was like a totally different trimmer. I have the craftsman professional. After adjusting it runs 100 percent better. More power |
