"gasping for air"?

Is it starting? Maybe it has no compression? I don't understand the problem.

Maybe you mean it is hunting? Or surging?
If so a good cleaning or a replacement which is cheap.

It is surging, what kind of a screwdriver do I need to get into the small area behind air cleaner and below carburater to adjust the two screws

see my post
honda hrx and hrb surging

what type of a screwdriver do I need to fit into that tight space

You can only use a long Phillips to adjust the stop. You can use a straight for the idle jet. It is tough. That is why I told you to use the link.

boydanny, a long skinny one. And work on giving just a little more detail with your questions ok? You are smart enough to find the power button on a computer you should be able to post a complete thought.
