I cranked up the motor this weekend and it wouldn't stay running at idle. I checked for fuel leaks, and saw none. The only fuel I saw was a very small amount (no even dripping) around the primer bulb (that i put on new last year) but it was a little soft. Would that small amount be my problem or do I need to adjust my idle screw, which the head is stripped out so it's obvious that it has already been adjusted. Thanks for any help!
