I cannot find a manual and it is not listed at Chain Saw Collectors Corner http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf. I did find IPLs and judging from them she is no youngster, based on that I am going to say the manual recommends 32:1 (1 gallon of premium fuel to 4 ounces of quality 2-cycle oil).

If properly adjusted up it will start easier, plugs and the exhaust will take much longer to carbon foul on 50:1 (1 gallon of premium fuel to 2.6 ounces of quality 2-cycle oil).

CW is leaner; to lean will destroy the saw. If over tightened closed (CW) the adjustment screw faces are easily marred; marred adjustments are difficult to impossible to set properly.
Clean the air filter; adjusting with a dirty filter can cause a run lean condition once cleaned and the saw run.
