    Question:
    I have a 122HD45 hedge trimmer that I bought through Amazon. First time I started it up it took about 2 minutes at full throttle to get the blades to engage. the next time they engaged much sooner, and there after no more problem. What I am more worried about is that since those initial starts, it will not run more than 30 minutes at a time before having to adjust the carburetor. What happened? It was working great for the first 6 hours. Then it would start fine but as soon as you give it throttle it dies. You can do this over and over but it will not handle giving it any throttle. We took a closer look and found the fuel line was not attached to the fuel tank, we reattached it and that seems to work. and it still would only idle. We bought a carburetor adjustment tool and adjusted the carburetor. worked for 30 minutes before, once again not handling any throttle. Adjust the carburetor, and it worked! Until it was taken out in the field and used for 30 minutes. The same thing all over again. Brought it back and adjusted the carburetor. Another 30 minutes and had to adjust again. Since we live in a mountain community the need for hedge trimming doesn't exist until mid to late July. Our warrant is close to expire and I would like to resolve this before it expires.
