Hello
What are the high and low screws set @ from the factory?
I need a starting point for tuning and I'd like to get it going first..
Thanks
 
Not sure about this model specifically but I find it best with any unknown 2stroke to shut the high jet all the way, and open the low 1 full turn. Turn the idle stop screw about half way open, and try to start it, pulling fast. Once you have it running, find the low jet setting that gives the highest idle rpm, then turn it out 1/4-1/2 turns from there. Adjust idle to sound right (cutting head does not move).

Let it idle there for a few minutes and see if any adjustments need to be made.
Then you can open the high 1 turn and see how it revs up. If you are in doubt, always leave it rich as opposed to lean.
