High speed jet H
Checking the front hand guard
•
The high speed jet H affects the power and speed of
the machine. If the high speed jet is set too lean
(screwed in too far) it will cause the machine to over-
rev and damage the engine.Turn the high speed jet H
anticlockwise until it stops. If the engine runs
unevenly, turn the high speed jet clockwise until the
engine runs evenly.
Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that
there are no visible defects such as cracks.
•
The high speed jet H is correctly adjusted when the
machine burbles slightly. If the machine ”screams”,
the setting is too lean. If the muffler emits a lot of
smoke and the machine burbles a lot, the setting is too
rich. Turn the high speed jet H clockwise to achieve a
setting that sounds right.
CAUTION! To adjust the carburetor correctly you should
contact a mechanic with access to a rev counter.
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make
sure it moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the
clutch cover.
Correctly adjusted carburetor
When the carburetor is correctly adjusted the machine
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a
little at maximum speed. It is also important that the chain
does not rotate at idle. If the L-jet is set too lean it may
cause starting difficulties and poor acceleration. If the H-
jet is set too lean the machine will have less power, poor
acceleration and could suffer damage to the engine.If the
L and H-jets are set too rich it will lead to acceleration
problems or too low a working speed.
Checking the brake trigger
Place the chain saw on firm ground and start it.Make sure
the chain does not touch the ground or any other object.
See the instructions under the heading Start and stop.
