How do I adjust the mixture on my 25 cc Homelite? it will start on full choke but dies when trying to run on any other setting - if you try to rev on full choke it will also die. The carb has red and clear plastic adjusting cogs instead of the usual screw adjusments.

first of all, make sure you are not using last year's fuel. Old fuel causes this symptom. If fuel is fresh, then break off those plastic keepers and the little adjustment screws will be revealed. I'm not sure how to adjust them, but I've heard on this homlite you close screw and then back out 4.5 full turns. Try that but you might have to tinker.
