I have to start my new 5100 so many times an hour that I'm really starting to resent it. It runs well, but let it idle and it will either stop by itself, or tease you and wait for you to try to rev it a bit before konking out.
Thing is I can't turn the idle screw. What kind of screwdriver is the right fit for that thing? You can't see if it's engaged properly or not with the narrow hole through the housing, and everything I've tried has been unable to turn it. I don't think it's stripped, but it will be soon enough unless I try something different. How much pressure should it take? How do you know if the screwdriver is engaged or not?
I've adjusted the L screw out (counterclockwise) to the limit, but whatever the setting, I've found no improvement for the stalling.
:help: please.
