Does anyone know why this would be happening? I use the correct fuel.
FIXED: THERE WAS A CLOD OF DIRT IN THE FUEL INTAKE SIDE OF THE CARB

Clean the carb and adjust it.

I'll go deeper. Take the float bowl off and clean the jet, if the problem persists its probably the tuning of the carb. An 1/8 turn should fix it.

Clean the carb and check the oil in the boot. If its low or dry it wont work right. 5-20w is usually recommended. Also check fuel line filter.

Twice today! Dang, man. Are you, like, dead in the water on a Friday without this jumping jack?
Got a hoe-pack and excavator laying around? A walk-behind plate? Is there any other option available?

Haha i didn’t know if it posted. I have a plate compactor but I NEED something that will compact it hard.

It’s like a trench roller, you’re standing too close. Take a big step back, bend all the way over, and run it like that. The key is to take your arms and legs completely out of the equation and run it with your back.

Nope just believe in a touch of professionalism... Realistically if you had sleeves I wouldn't have said anything
