RE: Gs40 ?
Well I messed with it a little tonight and got it to run but when you open it up to full throttle it will wind out then drop rpms like you let of the gas. I let go of the trigger and gave it gas again and it would do the same thing. Any ideas?

RE: Gs40 ?
Assuming this is not some torn up engine ...
First ... the high speed needle should be set at around 2 1/2 for a good starting place . Then , if that still does not do , try replacing your fuel line AND your pressure line ( the one from the pressure tap on the exhaust that goes to the fuel cell )
And last , check to make sure that your fuel cell is air-tight ( meaning - take off the fuel line that goes to the carb AND take off the one that goes to the exhaust - now , blow into the one that goes to the exhaust side and put your finger over the hole for the one that goes to the carb . There should be NO pressure being released , if there is , then either your fuel line(s) are bad - has a hole in it , or your fuel cells stopper cap is NOT sealed properly .
One more thing . Is there any chance your fuel cell is mounted too low ?
