Hi Grumpy, gave the motor a run but had no difference. Done some research and found a number of cases same as mine, most of the answers pointed to the governor not being set correctly. Hope you dont mind but had a play with governor restting it in different positions, did have it running without hunting but it was reving way to hard even in fast mode. Tried adjusting it a fraction more , back to hunting, other times it sounded as if it was getting to much fuel, when i took airfilter case off it was wet and spark plug as well. Have tried to find the corrct setting for governor but unable as yet,, wondering if you could help out please. Will keep looking myself. Let you know if i can find it.
Have included photo of governor arm, it is a two peice. I am wondering if one peice should be set one way, the other peice set another.
