Well I have the same problem and have it apart right now...here's what is wrong with mine...the fuel lines are restricted, soft, and cracked at the in-tank filter. If you remove the four screws on the left side of the handle/trigger mechanism, you'll see where the fuel lines enter the tank. Right there is where my biggest problem is. The lines are being pinched by the bottom of the handle, which has a couple of grooves in it to, supposedly, allow the lines to exit the tank and go on to the carburetor and primer bulb. Also, when I fished the lines out of the tank through the filler cap, the filter fell off in my hand and the end of the tubing crumbled and split. Bad design, I think. I'm going to get new fuel line and try to figure out a way to keep them from being pinched where they exit the tank and go through the handle. Kevin
