I have a homelite timberman chainsaw and it wont idle with out dieing. it will run but only if u throttle it wide open how do i need to adjust it?
Start with "H" and "L" at 1.5 turns CCW from lightly seated then tune for performance as follows:
Carburetor Adjustment by Madsens.com

CW is leaner; to lean will destroy the saw. If over tightened closed (CW) the adjustment screw faces are easily marred; marred adjustments are difficult to impossible to set properly.
Clean the air filter; adjusting with a dirty filter can cause a run lean condition once cleaned and the saw run.
There are 2 wav (sound - idle & full – may not be highlighted) files that I find most helpful, I think you will too.
If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. Thank you for using FixYa and Good Luck. HTH

Im no pro but id start with the throttle stop adjustment and the low speed jet.
screw low jet in, till its fully seated, do not force it. then back it out 1 and 1 / 8 turns. this should get it running and ideling.
Look for a screw that touches the linkage to the carb. Turn this screw to open the throttle till it idles the motor so the chain just creeps along
