Topic is a little Homelite Bandit. I believe the starter cover says "XL-30. Cute little little 12" bar-ed red plastic thing. Great for one-handed trimming.
Put it away about two years ago (properly drained), at the time, it was running well. Got it out yesterday to do some trimming. Couldn't get it started - no gas to the cylinder - wasn't too suprised. Dissected and checked carb - all looked fine. Put it back together, FINALLY got it started. Won't idle at all. Adjusting the "L" screw, it either runs at about half WOT RPMs (at 2 turns out), or dies at anything more or less than 2 turns out.
Queston: Could a metering level in the carb that is set slightly too high do this?
