It lives, again.
The gx390 had a 104 main jet in it when I got it, which is way too big. Tried a 100 and ran that in the stump grinder. This time when going g over the carb I took it from a .45mm air bead to a .38 and tried it with a #100 main jet and that was too rich, the next size smaller that seemed appropriate I have on hand was a #95. The 95 was better but still a bit rich.
I think some soft skull mechanic got ahold of it, one of those people who thinks if it's not running right it always needs more fuel.
