Stihl 021 Carburetor Adjustments

Adjusting engine idle speed

A correction at the low-speed screw (L) usually necessitates a change in the setting of the idle speed adjusting screw (LA).
Note: Turn screws very slowly and carefully – even slight movements produce a noticeable change in engine running behavior.
Engine stops while idling

Check standard setting. Turn idle speed screw (LA) clockwise until the chain begins to run then turn it back one quarter turn.

Chain runs while engine is idling

Check standard setting. Turn the idle speed screw (LA) counterclockwise until the chain stops running – and then turn it about another quarter turn in the same direction.

Erratic idling behavior, poor acceleration even though low-speed screw in one turn open

Idle setting too lean-Turn the low-speed screw (L) counterclockwise until the engine runs and accelerates smoothly.

Important: If problems occur on the carburetor or the fuel supply system, always check and clean the tank vent.

The Stihl 021 is a light weight saw that was first introduced in 1993. It is still being made today but in Stihl’s product branding that happened in 2002 it became the MS 210. It quickly became the favorite choice for any keen gardeners or small holders.
