Jiffy 30...needs more power

[Hemlock]

I just got my blade sharpened by a little shop in town. (unbelievable sharpness!)

I'm running a ten inch bit, and it just seems the motor bogs down a bit, like it doesn't have enough power to turn that sharp blade. Is there a high speed adjustment I need to make? Any help....?

I used to have the same deal when I had a Jiffy.1st thing is let it idle for a minute or two before drilling any holes.2nd is I would have to adjust the carb about 2 times per a season.After the adjustment everything was just peachy.

Hope it helps.Good luck to ya.

Hey Hemlock - look on the previous page for the post Tecumseh Carb settings - Knotwood has posted a great explanation of what to do.

try opening the high speed screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn. they like to run rich.
