Question
    Even with choke on not enough gas to run underload.  Must push primer to keep running.  How to adjust carburetor underload condition?  Thank you.

Answer
fist make sure your fuel filter  is not blocked.  next  on carb . in most cases is 2 settings.   1 being a air mixture needle.   and other being fuel.   turn them both in  lightly til they stop...  clockwise.   back them  out  both   1 and 1 half turns.    the one on  fuel bowl  is the fuel.   after it is running  tweak  them  as needed.  but the fuel should be no less the  1 and 1 half out.     give this a try ,  and lets go from here.
