Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't 100% sure how they worked, that helps. Looking at a friend's Echo weed whacker now. Carb on it is trash. Installed a factory rebuild kit but it only runs if I shoot starting fluid in it. Fuel filter isn't plugged, no hose restrictions, fresh fuel. Found a Taiwan carb for it for $16.00. Those carbs are apparently troublesome. One capped adjustment screw and it's the high speed jet. Pretty much throw away. Can't soak it in anything strong since there's plastic in it. Stale Ethanol fuel wasn't any help either.
