Need carb h/l ajustemts and idle controle ajustment

You have Sediment in the Idle Jet

Only Info I see is "Homelite Chain Saws" - not much to go on.
Most saws have two carb adjustment screws, Hi, and Lo.
Assuming the saw will start and run enough to warm up, then
adjust the Lo screw in, clockwise, until the motor starts to slow down,
turn only about 1/8 turn at a time. From the point where it starts to slow down, turn it out about 1/4 turn. This should give you a decent idle. Now pull the throttle, and see what happens.
A - Saw runs up to speed, but dies off, or starts to slow on it's own.
turn Hi idle screw out about 1/4 turn.
B - Saw speeds up, but runs sluggish, fat - not real hi end.
Turn Hi screw IN, about 1/8 or so, and try again, or adjust
while running at full throttle. (best way)
IF it won't run well, try turning both screws all the way in to seat them, then come back out about 1-1/2 to 2 turns. this should get you in the ballpark to set things up as above.

Once the saw is running well, adjust the idle screw to a smooth idle but slow enough that the chain stops moving.

Stay safe

Hi lloydlavalla...

Before you remove or try to adjust your low and high speed jets you should always count the number of turns it takes to lightly seat the idle mixture screw and high speed needle adjusting screws.
Be sure to write the number of turns down on a piece of paper so you will know how many turns from the seated position to open the jets when you go to reinstall them, or if you remove them for cleaning or replacement.
Normally you will adjust your idle jet to 1/2-3/4 turn open from the bottom seated position.
Then you will re-adjust the low speed of the engine when the engine is warm by turning the idle screw in or out till the engine runs smoothly at idle speed, around 1200 RPM.
The high speed jet is adjusted to 1 1/2- 1 3/4 open from the bottom seated position, after the engine is warm.
Then re-adjusted by turning the High Speed jet adjustment screw in or out till the motor runs smoothly at high speed.

mmarote, this is what I did to solve that problem....remove carb...take a hacksaw or dremel tool and cut or grind slots straight across the centers of both screws deep enough to get a thin bladed screwdriver in the slots....turn to adjust....et voila....

no carb ajustment is done with a flat head screwdriver, first i would remove the card, disassemble it and blast it with compressed air because its probably just clogged up with varnish. to ajust the high low and idle screws bottom both out ( turn in all the way) then unscrew each one turn. from there start the saw and loosen in 1/4 turn at a time until it runs well

Many times you may also have to adjust the throttle needle as well for altitude or just to get it to run right. It may be the throttle cable having problems too.

high 2 turns out and low 1 and 1/2 turns out
after you get runing up operrating temp ajust
again throttle wide open ajust high neadle and
win idle ajust low neadle

try ajusting carb did get better.if no rebuild carb and ajust carb again should fix your problem low needle 1 turn out and high needle 1 1/2 turns out this will get it runing and you might ajust again run full throttle to ajust high needle.let me know if this help you.ok

large adjustment is the idle
if it is a zama carb then 1 turn out each
if it is a walbro carb. 1and1/4 out each
preliminary adjstments they will have to be tweeked after its running or maybe not

The 3 adjustment screws are Idle, high and low.
First figure out which screws are which adjustment. Tighten the screws then turn them 1 full turn.
Then start the saw and get it warmed up. Work on the high adjustment. This does take a little while. after you get the saw running at high speed work on the low speed.
