Turn H and L jet screws all way to right back each one out 1 1/2 turns. Start and hold full throttle, adj. H for maximum speed then adjust L so it will idle and have very little hesitation when sudden increase of throttle. Once this is done you may have to adj. H a bit more for maximum speed.

The factory manual states: Recommended First choice is Premium Homelite 32:1 Motor oil(SAE-40) in ratio 1 part oil to 32 parts gasoline (1/4 pint per U.S. gallon of gas or 3% oil)
Second Choice: Homelite 16:1(SAE-30) Motor oil or any motor oil for air-cooled 2-cycle engines in ratio of 1 part oil to 16 parts of gasoline (1/2 pint oil per U.S. gallon gasoline or 6% oil
The newer models are 50:1 yours is 32:1

I have that saw. The manual states if you are using Homelite 2 -cycle oil read and follow the instructions on the package. If you use other than Homelite oil use 16 parts gasoline to 1 part 2- cycle oil, 1 gal / 8oz

'L' is the idle jet screw and 'H' is the full throttle screw. Make sure the air cleaner is not clogged. Turn both screws CW to stops (lightly), then back out CCW 1-1/2 turns each. Start the engine and allow to warm up, then pull the throttle full on. Turn H CW until the engine starts to speed up, but still 4 stroking. Proper adjustment is when the engine 4-strokes unloaded, but immediately 2-strokes when cutting. Release the throttle and adjust L CW for fairly smooth running, yet allows the engine to 'follow the throttle'. Adjust idle speed screw so that the chain stops turning, but the engine keeps running. Hope this helps!
