Is there a adjustment that came be made if the motor bogs down when at full throttle? Idles and starts fine.

There are I think two screws on the carb that you adjust. Like 1/4 turn

I would guess you mean at full throttle while you’re cutting a hole? Could be that the blades are dull and that’s bogging it down. I’d look at that before adjusting the carb. If the blades are fine it could be that the carb is gunked up and needs cleaning or a rebuild kit.
Good luck.

Took mine to a local repair guy and the piston and cylinder were scored and he says parts for that motor are hard to come by. Would pretty much need the whole motor anyway!

If it starts and idles good,you have good compression.
