Hi gang, new to the forum (and thankful that I found it).<br />My question is regarding a 2hp Honda that I just got from a friend. He said it's about 5 years old, and considering the condition, that seems about right. The throttle is slide mounted on the front of the engine, not on the tiller handle.<br />When I got it, it still had almost a full tank of gas from last year, but after a few pulls, started up, in typical Honda fashion from what I've heard.<br />The only thing is that, I can't seem to reduce the throttle setting more than a 1/4" below the 'starting' setting. Any lower and it dies.<br />Is this normal, should I be able to reduce the throttle setting to its lowest position or is there more range provided than what is actually useful?<br />From what I've been able to locate on the 'net, old gas can cause varnishing of the passages and cause problems. <br />Would changing the heat range of the sparkplug help at all, or either not worth the time, or not recommended.<br />I haven't been able to locate any schematics or instructions on the 'net as to how to disassemble and adjust the carb and haven't been able to locate either a Clymer or Chilton book locally, even the library didn't have one, although I know that they are available.<br />Also, it appears the propeller is made of nylon, can I get an aftermarket one with different pitch?<br />I live in Kamloops,British Columbia Canada and any help that can be provided would be gratefully appreciated.<br />Thanking you in advance<br /><br />tinbird
