General Information
The carburetor comes from the factory
with a standard setting.
This setting provides an optimum fuel-air
mixture under most operating
conditions.
Preparations
N Shut off the engine.
N Check the air filter and clean or
replace if necessary.
N Check the spark arresting screen in
the muffler and clean or replace if
necessary.
Standard setting
N Turn high speed screw (H)
counterclockwise as far as stop (no
more than 3/4 turn).
N Turn the low speed screw (L)
clockwise as far as stop, then turn it
back 1/4 turn.
Adjust idle speed
N Carry out the standard setting.
N Start and warm up the engine.
N Allow engine to idle for about 10
seconds before adjusting the idle
speed.
Engine stops while idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
clockwise until the chain begins to
run – then back it off 1 full turn
Saw chain runs while engine is idling
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
counterclockwise until the chain
stops moving – then turn it another
full turn in the same direction.
WARNING
If the chain continues moving when the
engine is idling, have your saw checked
and repaired by your servicing dealer.
Erratic idling behavior, poor acceleration
(even though standard setting of low
speed screw is correct)
Idle setting is too lean
N Turn the low speed screw (L)
counterclockwise, no further than
stop, until the engine runs and
accelerates smoothly.
It is usually necessary to change the
setting of the idle speed screw (LA) after
every correction to the low speed
screw (L).
Fine Tuning for Operation at High
Altitude
A slight correction of the setting may be
necessary if engine does not run
satisfactorily:
N Carry out the standard setting.
N Warm up the engine.
N Turn high speed screw (H) slightly
clockwise (leaner) – no further than
stop.
NOTICE
After returning from high altitude, reset
the carburetor to the standard setting.
If the setting is too lean there is a risk of
engine damage due to insufficient
lubrication and overheating.
