Saw chain runs while engine is
idling
– Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
counterclockwise until the chain
stops running, then turn it back
1 1/2 turns.
Erratic idling behavior, poor
acceleration
(although low speed screw = 1/4)
Idle setting too lean.
– Warm up the engine.
– Turn the low speed screw (L)
counterclockwise until the engine
runs and accelerates smoothly.
It is usually necessary to change the
setting of the idle speed screw (L)
after every correction to the low
speed screw (LA).
Fine tuning for operation at high
altitude
A minor correction may be
necessary if engine power is not
satisfactory when operating at high
altitude.
– Check "Setting".
– Warm up the engine.
– Turn the high speed screw (H)
slightly clockwise (leaner) – no
further than stop on versions with
limiter caps.
Turn the adjusting screws only very
slightly. Even minor adjustments
can noticeably affect engine running
behavior.

is a risk of engine damage as a
