:
Check the standard setting.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the high speed screw (H) clockwise
(leaner) – no further than stop.
Engine stops while idling
:
Open the low speed screw (L) 1/4
If the setting is too lean there is
a risk of engine damage due to
insufficient lubrication and
overheating.
Idle setting is too lean:
turn.
:
Turn low speed screw (L)
counterclockwise – no further than
stop – until the engine runs and
accelerates smoothly.
:
Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
slowly clockwise until the chain
begins to run – then turn the screw
back 1/2 turn.
It is usually necessary to change the
setting of the idle speed screw (LA)
after every correction to the low speed
screw (L).
Chain runs while engine is idling
:
Open the low speed screw (L)
1/4
turn.
:
Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
slowly counterclockwise until the
chain stops running – then turn the
screw another 1/2 turn in the same
direction.
If the chain continues moving when
the engine is idling, have your saw
checked and repaired by your
servicing dealer.
