Basic setting
• The carburetor is set to its basic setting when test run at the
factory. The basic setting should be kept during the machine‘s
first working hours. Thereafter the carburetor should be finely
adjusted. Fine adjustment should be carried out by a skilled
technician.
NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves while the engine
is idling the T-screw should be turned anti-clockwise until the
cutting attachment stops.
Rec. idling speed 2700 rpm.
Recommended max. speed 11 000-12 000 rpm.
MAINTENANCE
Carburetor
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufac-
tured to specifications that reduce harmful emissions.
After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine
has broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak perfor-
mance and producing the least amount of harmful emis-
sions after break in, have your authorized servicing dealer,
who has a revolution counter at his disposal, to adjust your
carburetor for optimum operating conditions.
WARNING!
The complete clutch cover with shaft must
be fitted before the machine is started,
otherwise the clutch can become loose
and cause personal injury.

Operation
• The carburetor governs the
engine‘s speed via the
throttle. Air/fuel is mixed in
the carburetor. The air/fuel
mixture is adjustable. To take
advantage of the engine‘s
optimal output the adjustment
must be correct.
• The setting of the carburetor
means that the engine is
adapted to local conditions,
for example, the climate,
altitude, petrol and the type of
2-stroke oil.
• The carburetor is equipped
with three adjustment
possibilities:
L = Low speed needle
H = High speed needle
T = Idle speed adjuster
screw
• The fuel quantity in relation to
the air flow permitted by the
throttle opening is adjusted
using the L and H-needles.
Turning the needles
clockwise gives a leaner fuel
mixture (less fuel) and turning
them anti-clockwise gives a richer fuel mixture (more fuel). A
leaner mixture gives high revs while a richer mixture give less
revs.
• The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while the
engine is idling. Turning the screw clockwise gives a higher
idling speed while turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower idling
speed.
WARNING!
If the idling speed cannot be adjusted so
that the cutting attachment stops, contact
your service workshop. Do not use the
machine until it has been correctly adjusted
or repaired.
!
Fine adjustment
• When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburetor should be
finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried out
by qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the idling
screw T and then the H-jet.
Conditions
• Before any adjustments are made the airfilter should be clean
and the airfilter cover fitted. Adjusting the carburetor while a
dirty airfilter is in use will result in a leaner mixture when the
filter is finally cleaned. This can give rise to serious engine
damage.
• Carefully turn the L and H needle to the mid point between
fully turned in and fully turned out.
• Do not attempt to adjust the needles beyond the stops as
damage can occur.
• Now start the machine according to the starting instructions
and run it warm for 10 minutes.
NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves the T screw
should be turned anti-clockwise until the cutting attachment
stops.
Low speed needle L
Try to find the highest idling
speed, turning the low speed
needle L clockwise respec-
tively counter-clockwise. When
the highest speed has been
found, turn the low speed
needle L 1/4 turn counter-
clockwise.
NOTE! If the cutting attach-
ment rotates/moves in the
idling position, turn the idling
speed screw T counter-
clockwise until the cutting
attachment stops.
