    Adjustment of the idle speed
    Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air
    filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted.
    Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if
    it is necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment
    screw T clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to
    rotate. Then turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting
    attachment stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted
    when the engine will run smoothly in every position. The
    idle speed should also be well below the speed at which
    the cutting attachment starts to rotate.

    Hope this helps

      Hi Dr Kee

      Before i mention the obvious, remove the gas and replace it with a new mix.

      If it continues to spin at idle, then we need to have the carburetor adjusted at a service dealer.

      Altitude and change in the weather can affect the performance of the engine.

      I apologize for the inconvenience and hope this will be helpful.
