You're welcome Xe. One added thing, any two stroke engines you run are particularly susceptible to carbon buildup, that's why it's recommended to run them at full revs. With chain saws this is easy but not with whipper snippers used on domestic yards. At the end of every day I would pull in most of the line (reduce drag) and then run the engine full bore for 60 seconds or so to burn and blast out the carbon. The first time you do this you'll feel flecks of carbon shooting out of the exhaust if you wave the palm of your hand past it. Obviously you don't hold your hand in front of the pipe lol.
