Saw running with the H screw @ 1 1/4 out & the L @ 2 turns out…tried it @ 1 1/2, 1 3/4, 2, 2 1/4, 2 1/2 & finally 3 full turns out…just won’t hang @ idle…

Can't see your video but go the other way with the screw, out further is just more fuel.

It doesn’t matter if it’s at 1/2 turn or 3 full turns…something else seems to be amiss🤔

Not really….I’m going to pull the cylinder tomorrow to see if it blew out part of the base gasket, and check the intake boot for cracks/rips…I have another one on the way already as I plan on replacing most of the parts on the saw due to it’s age.

Have you done a vacuum test? Often when a saw won’t tune it’s an air leak in my experience.

Even though there’s lots of fuel going into the carb, it still feels/seems like it’s running lean, so I’m wondering if it’s pulling air in from somewhere…since it won’t idle, it’s hard to use WD-40 or brake cleaner to check around the base gasket & intake, so I’ll just pull ‘em…need to pull them anyway😉😁

Is Tygon the best fuel line to run for both the fuel & pulse lines? If so, what OD line to get a good fit/seal?

Appreciate it, but trying to stick with OEM for the critical components on this saw😁
