Poulan chainsaw, I rebuilt the carb with all new everything. Now it will start with choke all the way out. Idles really high. If I push choke in, it dies instantly. The hi-lo and Idle is off I know for sure. How do I set them ? Ive tried turning them all the way to the right then back 1-2 rounds and starting from there. But having no luck at all. Thank you.

Get it running on idle,adjust the idle down till it runs hairy,then adjust low speed mixture screw till you get it highest revs,then keep repeating that till you get it idling normal.rev saw up max revs,adjust high speed jet, in or out till you get max revs,then screw out one quater of a turn.That lets enough fuel thru to cool the sparkplug tip..If thats no good,redo the carbi.Check the tiny filter under the needlevalve hole.Check the needlevalve diaphragm height.recheck gaskets are right way round

SOURCE: my 345 chainsaw bogs down when it hits wood

There are two idle screws one high, and one low. Your high adjustment idle screw needs to be adjusted.

SOURCE: Husqvarna 55 chainsaw won't stay running.

It has a crack in the fuel line between the body and the tank. The crack lets air in the line. Replace the line.

SOURCE: chain saw carburator settings for husqvarna 61

Turn both screws CW to stops (lightly), then back out CCW 1-1/2 turns each. This is a basic setting and the engine should start and run. Allow the engine to warm up, then pull the throttle full on. Turn the H jet screw CW until the engine starts to speed up, but still 4-strokes. Proper adjustment occurs when the engine is 4-stroking, but immediately 2-strokes when cutting. This gives best power and lowest heat. Release the throttle and adjust L jet CW until the engine idles fairly well, but will allow the engine to 'follow the throttle'. Adjust idle speed screw so that the chain stops turning, but the engine continues to run. Hope this helps!

SOURCE: my husqvarna 575xp chain saw starts and runs for

I had the same problem with my 575 xp and was able to correct it by cleaning the orange nipple that the gas tank breather hose connects to. The hole in the nipple is really tiny. I cleaned it out with a fine wire and then blew air through it.

I HAVE POULAN 2150 CHAINSAW IT WILL CRANK WITH CHOKE PULLED OUT IN ON POSITION BUT SOON AS I PUSH CHOKE IN TO OFF POSITION SAW CUTS OFF . I REPLACED FUEL LINES AND TANK FILTER AND PRIMER BULB

Try testing it with a known good carb. The float and needle may be worn out. Since it starts, it is obviously a fuel problem and not an electronic one. Or if you have the means, buy a new carb.

I have put on new/rebuilt carbs 1100 virago. starts up nicely thenwarms up and idles 2000rpm. everything is new,intake boots etc.please anyone HELP

Check the choke settings . If the choke is set to stay on too long it will have high revs and check the linkage to the throttle to ensure that the adjustment is correct.

Poulan Pro Wild Thing will only run with choke out. Carb has been fully rebuilt and new lines added. As soon as throttle is pulled and choke pops off, engine dies. Any recommendations/suggestions? Thanks,...

If not already done replace the fuel filter in the tank, it is obviously fuel starvation, if no better increase the the fuel mixture on the H and L screws ( turn anti clockwise 1/4 turn on each to start with)

Engine idles excesivly high after carb was rebuilt.

You need a new choke pull off. They are around $30 dollars.

1979 cj replased carb idles tohigh

Even with a rebuilt carb you have to make the adjustments. Check the choke adjustment and set the fast idle. If choke is to tight it will be hard to start and take a long time to idle down. The fast idle sounds like it is high also.

Poulan 3700 will not keep running when you open the choke.

The prob is at the base of the carb. Its sucking air. Be certain to install a new gasket, making sure the both services are very clean. And the mounting bolts tightened equally! Frankster016
