Tighten the cable running from the handle, should be a double threaded screw in line? Topping off the gas helps too, as you found out, as you tilt the machine to eat through high banks.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

My Craftsman ran flawlessly, used it for 5 hours straight
only used 1 tank of gas

My driveway is 3 cars long by 2 cars wide, plus I did my 1 other driveway across the street (same size)
