Idle Speed/Throttle Stop – This is the adjustment that controls how much the throttle valve (butterfly) stays open when the throttle trigger is released. If this adjustment is set too low, the engine will die when the throttle trigger is released. If this adjustment is set too high, the high idle speed will cause the centrifugal clutch to engage and the chain will run. This is a dangerous condition.
Low Speed Fuel Adjustment – This is the adjustment that controls the proportion of fuel in the air/fuel mixture at idle speed. An adjustment that is too rich will cause the engine to load up and die at idle speed. A mixture that is too lean will starve the engine and cause it to race or surge. An extremely lean adjustment will cause the engine to die, too.
High Speed Fuel Adjustment – This is the adjustment that controls the proportion of fuel in the air/fuel mixture at cutting speed. It would not be correct to say this is the most important setting, because these adjustments need to be correct for a saw to perform its best, but this is the adjustment that determines how the saw runs in the cut. An adjustment set too rich will not allow the saw to reach the RPM level necessary to build maximum power. Throttle response may also be sluggish and the engine will smoke and perform poorly. A mixture that is too lean will allow the engine to reach an RPM level where bearing failure and cylinder seizure are likely. It will also lack power in the cut and tend to run very hot.
