My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I don't know them but I think I can get you there. Turn jets gently CW to lightly seat them.
Do be sure NOT to screw the adjustment needles in tight they will damage easily.
Open both 1 turn CCW from lightly seated. Turn the LA (idle speed) screw in CCW and then out about half way of it's total travel. Start the saw let it warm 2-3 min.
Now work on the idle: Turn the LO screw CCW until it drops slightly. Note where this point is. Next turn the screw CW until it drops, note where this point is. Set the saw midway between the 2 points and a little bit CCW (1/16th turn) to enrich it as bit.
The HI - squeeze the throttle (Never more than 4-5 seconds at a time) and turn the HI screw CCW until the saw goes from a smooth buzz to a raspy exhaust sound. You want it to sound a little raspy,"burbley", if begins to sound smooth and "buzzy" it's too lean and will damage/overheat the saw.
After you set the HI you may need to tweak the LOW again
Your LA (idle) screw - turn it CW until the chain starts moving at idle. This will be too fast. Now back it out CCW until the chain stops. Then go 1/8 turn CCW. After you set the LA screw you may need to set the LO again. These are fussy fine adjustments but you have a fully adjustable carb which is good.
You may need to do this a couple of times to get it right. Without a tachometer you want the saw to be rich. This will ensure proper lubrication from the fuel/oil mixture and good cooling. It can be frustrating but take your time. It's rewarding to tune one correctly. The link I put here is the "right way" to do this. Good luck -br
Good advice above, sometimes you might have to open the low 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns to get it to start, and setting the high rich enough is important tack or no tack, seems like a lot more saws are getting lean siezed since people started using tachs. Most specs are a little lean nowdays thanks to the EPA. Steve
