Try and tune PD1 or go for new carb?

[danjferg]

Hey folks. I'm looking for some carburetor advice.

I've got a PD1 on my 2005 Trailmaster 200. To get it started it takes full throttle and choke even after running for a few minutes. It barely runs at idle after a full 10 minute warmup. If I give it a little choke then it idles much better. If I blip the throttle the RMPs come down slower than I expect, but not terrible. I'm thinking these are symptoms of running a tad lean.

My past experience(which is very little) tells me to adjust the mixture screws and enrich the mixture. But I cannot find any mixture screws on the carb. Am I blind? Or does this mean I have to fiddle with the interior? Like adjust the float?

I've only toyed with carbs on weed-eaters, with not a ton of success. I'm wondering if it's worth learning and going through the process to tune the PD1? Or If I have to take it apart, should I just shell out the cash for a better carb?

Thanks for any guidance, suggestions and advice!
