Carburettor Pressure testing Pressure testing should be carried out with the car- burettor fully assembled. Testing should always be carried out after the carburettor has been repaired, but it can also be carried out as trouble shooting before dismantling the carburettor. See fig. 17 and carry out the test as follows: Unscrew the high and low speed screws one turn from home position.
Carburettor 12.1.5 Adjustment WARNING! The bar, chain and clutch cover must be fitted before the chainsaw is started, otherwise the clutch can work loose and cause personal injury. WARNING! Wear ear-muffs when making adjustments with the engine running. Adjusting the carburettor means adapting the engine to local conditions, e.g.
