Standard Setting
Shut off the engine
Turn the high speed screw ( H)
slowly counterclockwise as far as
stop, but not more than
3/4 of a turn.
Turn the low speed screw ( L)
slowly clockwise as far as stop,
then turn
it back 1 1/4 turns.

The engine must idle and
accelerate smoothly.

Warm up the engine.
Engine stops while idling
Turn the idle speed screw LA
clockwise until the chain starts
running, then turn it back 1full
turn.
Saw chain runs while engine is
idling
Turn the idle speed screw LA
counterclockwise until the chain
stops running, then turn it back

Erratic idling behavior, poor
acceleration
(although standard setting is
correct)
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 (LA)
after every correction to the low
speed screw (L).
Adjustment for operation at high
altitude
A minor correction may be
necessary if engine power is not
satisfactory when operating at high
altitude.
Check standard setting.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the high speed screw (H)
clockwise (leaner) – no further
than stop.
Turn the adjusting screws only very
slightly. Even minor adjustments
can noticeably affect engine running
behavior.
If the setting is made too lean there
is a risk of engine damage as a
result of lack of lubrication and
overheating.
