Carburetor Adjustment

Before adjusting the carburetor, clean the starter cover vents as
shown in Illustration Fig. 86, and air filter as shown in Illustration
Fig. 87, refer to Operation-Starting Unit and Maintenance-Air
Filter Sections for details. Allow the engine to warm up prior to
carburetor adjustment.
This engine is designed and manufactured in order to comply with
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Phase 1 regulations.
The carburetor is factory set and should not require adjusting.
The carburetor will permit only limited adjustment of the "L" (Low
86
Jet) and "H" (High Jet) needles (Fig. 88). Any adjustment should
be done by a Servicing Dealer.
Under no circumstances should the "L" (Low Jet) and "H" (High
Jet) needles be forced outside the range of adjustment.
WARNING: Serious damage can occur to the engine
if improper adjustments are made to the "L" and "H"
needles. Do not force the "L" and "H" needles outside
the adjustment range in such case the engine will not
run in compliance with emissions regulations.
Idle Speed Adjustment
87
• If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates but will not idle; turn the
idle speed screw "T" clockwise to increase idle speed (Fig. 88).
• If the chain turns at idle, turn the idle speed screw "T"
counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the chain
movement. If the saw chain still moves at idle speed, contact
a Servicing Dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until the
repair is made.
