I bought a used Sears Gamefisher 1.75hp awhile back. Never ran it till today. I put fresh fuel in with a 50:1 oil mix, using oil for air cooled engines.
Started on the second pull, runs well except I cannot get it to slow down to an idle where the centrifugal clutch for the prop drive disengages, running probably at half throttle. I only see one adjustment screw on the carb. Tried it but seems more of a fuel needle valve. Cable from the handle goes into a plastic cap on top of the carb, don't see any real adjustment here. Cable does seem to move well within its' cover.
Any suggestions?
Thank you, Bill
