Running RPM

[Joseph]

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but after the trimmer is running it seems like it is choked back and not getting full power. Something like the air fuel ratio isn't right. When the trim is tilted on its side it picks up speed but goes right back to normal when placed upright. Is there a fix for this?

Mine acts similarly, never getting up to power. I tried new fuel and a new plug. It only has 2 hours on it. I have had it for over a year so it is out of warranty. Lowes says that they hear this a lot, but due to age, won't take it back. I bought it, but never used it so it was new in the box a year later. They say some just do it. My bet is a carb adjustment, but the EPA says no evidently.
