Need carb settings for Homelite chainsaw - My Tracto

I had this same thing . Its in the throttle cable tube. take the cable away from the carb. cut about 1/4 in of the tube around the cable off reattach to carb it works for me!

Have you tried changing the gas you are using? Sometimes with the addition of ethanol, water condensation is attracted and builds up in the system, creating a fuel mix that affects performance. Also, make sure your settings for High speed throttle are correct. You may need to make a small adjustment on the screw marked H for running high throttle.

Regarding the adjustment procedure you generally start your low and high mixture screws at one turn from seat, or slowly turn them in all the way until they bottom out and then back them out one full turn. You will adjust the high speed mixture screw at full throttle and get the median point between too rich (loads up) and too lean (dies out). You will want to do the same thing with the idle mixture screw, just adjust at idle rpm. You will also adjust the low idle mixture screw to give you a smooth transition from idle to throttle up. Once this is obtained, you adjust the third or idle speed screw low enough so the chain does not turn at idle rpm but high enough so the saw doesn't cut off. Hope this gets you going.

The H jet needle should be set so that the engine will 4-stroke at full speed, but immediately 2-stroke when cutting. The L jet needle should be set so that the engine will 'follow the throttle', but idle fairly well. Adjust the idle speed screw so that the chain stops turning, but the engine will continue to run. Check the fuel lines for condition and the fuel filter, air cleaner, and muffler for plugging. Make sure the carburetor fasteners are tight. Hope this helps!

If the fuel tank was completely full, I would expect fuel leakage from the tank vent--don't make a practice of overfilling. Give it a little breathing room for expansion. Check the air cleaner and muffler for plugging. White and red adjustments mean nothing to a color blind person. There should be an 'H' and 'L' cast into the plastic surface or on the carburetor body itself near the adjustments. Turn both screws CW to stops (lightly) and then back out each 1-1/2 turns CCW. Start the engine and allow to warm up. Pull the throttle full on, and adjust H CW until the engine starts to speed up but still 4-stroking. Proper adjustment is when the engine 4-strokes, but immediately 2-strokes when cutting. Release the throttle and adjust L CW until the engine runs fairly well, but allows the engine to 'follow the throttle'. Set the idle speed screw so that the chain stops turning, but the engine continues to run. Hope this helps!

Make sure that the air cleaner is not choked with sawdust. Turn both H and L jet screws CW to stops (lightly) then back out each 1-1/2 turns CCW. Start the engine and allow to warm up. Pull the throttle full on and adjust H CW so that the engine will speed-up somewhat, but still 4-stroking. Proper final adjustment is to be 4-stroking, but immediately 2-stroke when cutting. Allow to idle and adjust L so that the engine runs fairly smoothly, but will allow the engine to 'follow the throttle'. Set idle speed screw so that the chain doesn't move, but the engine keeps running. Hope this helps!

Idle speed is not usually set to some specific value, but is set to stop chain movement at idle, but allow the engine to keep running. Hope this helps!

It is most likely the diaphragm needs replacing. This is the cheapest and easiest thing to try first. If this doesn't it may require a new carburator, or you may can rebuild the carburator with a kit. The kits are very inexpensive.

Should b 2 screws on side of carb. One is low speed adj and one is high speed adjust. Turn screws all the way in until they bottom, not too tight--turn them out 1 1/2 turns. Start saw and adjust the idle screw by turning in until it starts to sputter and turn out until is idles smooth same for hight speed only adjust at high speed
