Our 716H is running rough. Have changed plug, air filter and in line fuel filter. The engine was running fine then stalled . Not sure if the gas is enthanol blend that is in the tank. Going to try Shell VT 91 octane in the morning.
Any suggestions on carb settings.

It could be the gas. I've been reading articles and talking to power equipment people about how the Ethanol has been creating havoc on small engines and their carbs. I was told the small engine world is moving to EFI and getting away from carburetors...
