Makita 6100 dying out of cut...

So I've got a 6100 that has a very strong tendency to die, just shut off completely, when I am finished with a cut at WOT. It never comes back to an idle, it just dies. Ideas?

Lol. I've been wearing out Sondre (SOS Ridgerider) lately with questions about a 7900 I've got . He's a great guy and has been very patient and helpful with me...

You saw my replies in your other thread, yes?

Sure did David, thanks. I saw a video on YouTube about tuning a 6100 and a guy in the comments section had one doing the same thing. The guy doing the video said to turn the low setting 1/8th of a turn clockwise. I'll start there. I feel pretty certain somethings not set right with the carburetor. Steve.
