Question:
I recently purchased 128LD trimmer and am having some issues with it. I picked up some fresh gas and mixed 1 gallon of fuel to the 2.6 ounces of oil included to make the 50:1 mix. The unit was assembled per the instructions. The problem I am having is the RPMs seem to waver at wide open throttle and the unit dies. The throttle response seems to be somewhat sluggish from comparison to other units I have had. What would/could cause these issues on a brand new unit out of the box? Its almost like there is a fuel restriction or possibly a restriction in the air filter. The air filter looks perfect.
