Carburettor adjustment

The carburettor can be designed in different ways, 
depending on existing environmental and emissions 
legislation. Some chain saws are equipped with 
movement limiters on the carburettor’s adjuster screws. 
These limit the adjustment possibilities to a maximum of 
a 1/2 turn.

When your chain saw is equipped with a carburettor that 
features movement limiters, the carburettor should be 
adjusted according to the instructions under the heading 
Carburettor with movement limiters.
When your chain saw is equipped with a carburettor that 
does not feature movement limiters, the carburettor 
should be adjusted according to the instructions under the 
heading Carburettor without movement limiters.

Contact your servicing dealer (retailer) if you are 
uncertain of which type of carburettor your chain saw 
is equipped with.

Carburettor with movement limiters

Your Husqvarna product has been designed and 
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful 
emissions. 

Function, Basic settings, Fine adjustment

Function

The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the 
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the 
carburettor. The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct 
adjustment is essential to get the best performance 
from the machine.

Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is 
adapted to local operating conditions, e.g. climate, 
altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.

The carburettor has three adjustment controls:

   - L = Low speed jet

   - H = High speed jet

   - T = Idle adjustment screw

The L and H-jets are used to adjust the supply of fuel 
to match the rate that air is admitted, which is 
controlled with the throttle. If they are screwed 
clockwise the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner (less fuel) 
and if they are turned anti-clockwise the ratio 
becomes richer (more fuel). A lean mixture gives a 
higher engine speed and a rich mixture gives a lower 
engine speed.

The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle 
speed. If the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a 
higher idle speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a 
lower idle speed.

Basic settings and running in

The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during testing 
at the factory. Avoid running at a too high speed during the 
first 10 hours.

CAUTION! 

 

If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw 

must be turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.

Rec. idle speed: 2700 rpm

IMPORTANT! Any maintenance other than that 
described in this manual must be carried out by your 
servicing dealer (retailer).

WARNING! Do not start the chain saw 
unless the bar, chain and clutch cover 
(chain brake) are fitted, otherwise the 
clutch may come loose and cause 
personal injury.

!

WARNING! Contact your servicing 
dealer, if the idle speed setting cannot be 
adjusted so that the chain stops. Do not 
use the chain saw until it has been 
properly adjusted or repaired.
