How To Adjust / Tune a Chainsaw Carburetor | Husqvarna Stihl BEST Way

Hi Everyone!

Today I am doing a slightly different quick video for you! This is the best way I have found to tune your small engine carburetor. It is very annoying but you just have to play around with it and you will get it. Definitely get the tool though, it just is the only way to do it. I will link it below. Thanks for watching!

This 65 year old grandpa took your advise. I purchased the tool through your affiliate link. I grew up in a bucket truck. At 17 I was taking down Elm trees over mobile homes that died from the dutch elm disease. We used the old blue steel case Homelites. You could drop them from 50 feet and you may just bend a bar. I also walked in 2 feet of snow to the bus stop! lol.

Would like to add to this a bit. You probably don't want idle high enough that the chain is moving. This means that the clutch is partially engaged and dragging. This will cause clutch pad wear. As for high settings, you do want to back off if the highest rev as you said. It is not about rpm though, it's about fuel mix. When the engine is revving the highest, the mix is too lean. When it runs lean, it runs hot. And when there is less fuel, there is less 2 stroke oil. Better to run a little more rich as you said by backing out a little. Thanks for the video. Great visual aid!

60 year old guy got it running like a champ! First time ever doing this. Tim me only 10 minutes after watching the video. You rock

Thanks for the clear video. I like the fact you even acknowledge that many videos don't slowly show you what they are doing! Thanks for the content 😀

Thank you so so very much for this video!! I had been looking everywhere for a video to adjust the carburetor for a Husqvarna 125B blower. I found a lot of videos on rebuilding the carburetor as well as a little mention about the adjustment, but nobody went straight to the point and showed what you did. Your video had my blower running again in less than two minutes. Thanks again!

Ha! This Old Guy watched this on my iPhone 8. Great video. My 455 Rancher stalls out at idle speed. I thought for sure I would be taking the orange engine cover off to get into a can of worms. I bought the tool at local auto parts store. Great tip!
Old Guys Rock!!!!

Super helpful! luckily I bought a carb adjustment tool kit for my weed eater, but it came with the needed one for the husquvarna !

[MizpahFarms]

Thank you! I was lost in trying to find or make the correct tool. So glad you left the link below.

[mikesanderson]

I needed the base line adjustments and you had them. Thanks! Excellent job!

[charlesrobbins]

Thanks for clearly explaining the Hi/Lo carb adjustment. My Husky keeps staling and I'm running out of swear words, the special wrench is in the mail from Amazon. I miss the good old days of small regular screwdriver adjusting! You explained the idle and high speed adjusting very well, Thanks

great video ..that tool is a must .. Like you I attempted to make one from some tube . Forget it Buy the tool. I must confess, I removed the carb and used a hacksaw to make a screwdriver slot in both adjusters . cutting through the aluminium guide surround . It worked perfectly . just a small point, , the motor should be warmed up to set the carb correctly .. Great video and at 76 years old it is refreshing to see youngsters with a brain .congratulations on a great video .I have loads of knowledge but am not computer savvy .. so uploading videos is a tad impossible for me . if you err on the slightly rich side the motor will pick up cleanly and run cooler . how about a nice video for the masses, on how to adjust the chain tension after sharpening .Also how tight do the blade bar nuts need to be in lb ft / newtons . snug, -snug plus -grunt or, double grunt tight .

Just stripped down my husqvarna 240e! Tried your tip worked a treat chainsaw runs as sweet as a nut😊it used to always cut out 😢 thanks for this excellent tip!

[tracyhill]

Completely understand after watching just once. Thank you

[tallen]

Exactly what I was looking for, and you're right, the other videos are confusing. Thanks!

[alafanlaman]

Well done. I haven't worked on a saw in a while. Half blind as well....thanks for pointing out where idle adjustment screws were.

[tonybrightwell]
