CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
_WARNING: The chain will be
moving during most of this procedure.
Wear your protective equipment and
observe all safety precautions. During
the low speed mixture adjustment re-
check idle speed after each turn of the
screw. The chain must not move at idle
speed.
Carburetor adjustment is critical and if
done improperly can permanently
damage the engine as well as the car-
buretor. If you require further assis-
tance or are unsure about performing
this procedure, call our customer as-
sistance help line at 1-800-235-5878.
Old fuel, a dirty air filter, dirty fuel filter,
or flooding may give the impression of
an improperly adjusted carburetor.
Check these conditions before adjust-
ing the carburetor.
The carburetor has been carefully set
at the factory. Adjustments may be
necessary if you notice any of the fol-
lowing conditions:
• Chain moves at idle. See IDLE
SPEED-T under adjusting procedure.
• Saw will not idle. See IDLE SPBED-T
and LOW SPEED MIXTURE-L under
adjusting procedure.
• Engine dies or hesitates when it
should accelerate. See ACCELERA-
TION CHECK under adjusting
procedure.
• Loss of cutting power. See HIGH
SPEED MIXTURE - H under adjusting
procedure.
There are three adjustment screws on
the carburetor. They are labeled H, L,
and T. They are located in the area just
above the primer bulb.
ADJUSTING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Do not force plastic limiter
caps on screws beyond the built-in
stops or damage will occur.
