The Husky workshop manual on Appendix A (USA) says "H" 3/4 turn CCW from lightly seated. "L" 1.5 turns CCW from lightly seated.
Page 36 (every other nation on earth) 1 turn CCW from lightly seated for both the "H & L" needles.
There is no recommended initial "T" setting. (from manual) "The idling speed is correctly set when the engine runs smoothly in all positions and there is a clear margin to the speed at which the chain starts to move".
These are initial settings and the saw needs to be adjusted for performance. Start with a clean air filter and a fresh fuel mix @ 50:1 per Husky (1 gallon of premium fuel to 2.6 ounces of quality 2-cycle oil).

This explains performance carburetor adjustment better than I can:
Carburetor Adjustment by Madsens.com

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.

There are 2 wav (sound - idle & full – may not be highlighted) files that I find most helpful, I think you will too.
I hope you found this post helpful.

Jet adjustment

The carb has an L screw, an H screw and an idle screw, both screws are fuel, not air screws, the L screw will increase the fuel mixture from idle to half throttle, the H screw will increase the fuel mixture at full revs, this will also govern the maximum revs the saw will do, it is very important you do not exceed the manufacturers recommended max rpm, if the saw will not rev clean up throught the revs, increase the L screw bit at a time until it does.

Runs if gas poured into carb. won't pick up gas to carb. please help

Check the fuel filter and air cleaner for plugging, also the muffler if the saw has seen considerable use. Check the condition of all fuel lines including the one in the tank. Inspect the primer bulb for cracks or other damage. If still won't pump fuel after the above, remove the carburetor and check the small impulse air passage down to the engine for any blown gaskets or plugged passages. I'm assuming that the engine has good compression. Be sure to use fresh fuel/oil mix. Hope some of this helps!

its not getting enough fuel. take the carb apart and clean it good. you can use a twist tie stripped off to clean the really fine holes or a wire brush wire. also you can burn the screen off in the carb. pull it out, burn off and use a drill bit or something similar to reinstall it.

Husqvarna 125L quit running, it runs then shuts off

You likely need to replace the muffler,this is a common problem and if the engine can't get rid of the exhaust it also will not take in more fuel,happens a lot with anything with a spark arrester in the muffler.

Engine cuts out

You probably have a fuel line that is cracked or has a hole in it of some sort. You should be able to take off the top cover and inspect these lines. If this is the problem, replace with new line & should work just fine. Let me know how it goes.

Husqvarna 357 XP Hard starting when warm.

I work for warcks county council, the husky 357xp is our main saw. We've experienced the same problem with many of our new 357's. after many hours of trying to solve the problem (including swapping carbs from old broken saws etc) i stumbled upon, by fluke i'm afraid, a problem with the ngk bpmr7a spark plugs. They seem to work fine for a short period of time (even new out of the box) then leak compression from the cylinder. We are running a esser rated bosh spark plug which seems to have eliminated the problem, (can't remember the number, sorry). We have now ordered champion plugs to replace the stock. Probably worth a try. Hope this is of some help.
