adjust high speed screw on carb anticlockwise about 1/2 turn
it will have a H mark beside it
if the engine is worse when its hot and stalls then that is the
sign that the rings or bore are worn , much bigger job

my mcculloch was doing this.i adjusted the high speed adjusting screw(usually marked H) on the carb and it did the trick.also check the air filter element is clean.
