Troybilt tb6044xp trimmer loads down under stress. I think I need to adjust the fuel jets.

When you installed the new carb did you adjust it for your engine? Idle control, idle mixture, fast misture? Running only with choke indicates that engine is not getting enough gas routinely via the main jet.

Probably your carb needs adjustment.There are usually 2 jets on those carbs, one for the start and idle, the other for the power load. Use your manual to find the power jet adjustment screw, then follow directions to turn the adjustment screw in 1/4 turn increments until it doesn't stall under load. If you don't have the manual go to: www.shoptoro.com
Find the manual download for your model.
Wish you the best!

1. Make sure that the generator limit is not being exceeded.
2. Try checking and raising the rpm. If the engine can not sustain the load from the generator, it can/will trip the breaker.
3. If the carb is dirty or the engine runs poorly it can trip the breaker. Tune up the engine, clean the carb, make carb adjustments to correct substandard running conditions.

try mixing a new batch of fuel/oil mix gas is only good for 30 days in small engines

you should be able to find the manual for the trimmer from their web site... you need both the model number and serial number to get the manual. i'll put the address you need below

Hi dcheddy...

Before you remove or try to adjust your low and high speed jets you should always count the number of turns it takes to lightly seat the idle mixture screw and high speed needle adjusting screws.
Be sure to write the number of turns down on a piece of paper so you will know how many turns from the seated position to open the jets when you go to reinstall them, or if you remove them for cleaning or replacement.
If you have tried to adjust them already then this should get it running...then do your final adjustment when the engine is warm.
Normally you will adjust your idle jet to 1/2-3/4 turn open from the bottom seated position.
Then you will re-adjust the low speed of the engine when the engine is warm by turning the idle screw in or out till the engine runs smoothly at idle speed, around 1200 RPM.
The high speed jet is adjusted to 1 1/2- 1 3/4 open from the bottom seated position, after the engine is warm.
Then re-adjusted by turning the High Speed jet adjustment screw in or out till the motor runs smoothly at high speed.
Alway use the "lightly seated" method if you have not changed the screw settings.
Free Answer...Please take time to rate me

first remove your muffler and check to see if screen is plugged in exhaust..this will cause it not to rev. Also if you rebuilt your carb you neglected to pull your jets out and flush them out, pull both caps off adj screws with small screwdriver and try to adj "H" turn counterclockwise 1/8to 1/4 turn and see if it improves any if so keep turning till rpms start to slow back down then slowly turn back clockwise just till on edge of rpms speeding back up ,also did you change your fuel filter? hope this helps you!

look on the carburetor. there will be 2 screws right beside eachother. one is an idle jet and the other is the main jet. if you want faster or slower idle speeds, adjust idle jet. if you want more power, adjust the main jet. you have to get them set just right . they might smoke a little bit because you are throwing more fuel to it which means you are getting a richer mix

1. the main fuel inlet line should have enough line to let the fuel filter set on the bottom of the tank and slide to the side when the trimmer is turned sideways.
2. The screw that holds the inlet needle lever pin on the metering side of the carb gets tightened down and is not adjustable. The adjustment is in the lever itself.
3. the throttle plate would go closest to the crankcase and the choke would be away.
4. The brass inlet that goes directly to the fuel pump side of the carb is the main fuel line ( with the fuel filter on the other end in the tank).
5. the low speed screw ( usually marked with an L or LO) is always the closest one to the crankcase. It should be 1 and 1/2 turns out from bottom ( of course you will likely need to adjust from the starting point- almost all poulans need 2 turns (( craftsman is a poulan)). If there are 2 screws the one furthest from the cranckcase od the high speed. Start at 1 and 1/4 turn out for that. To adjust hold throttle wide open and turn out till you hear that 2-stroke cackle. Turn the screws out for richer and in for leaner. Set the low speed first. Turning out and richening up the lo will drop the idle so you will likely need to turn in the idle screw half a turn for every half a turn you turn out the lo jet. Then adjust the hi for a cackle and good performance under load.
