CARBURETOR
ADJUSTMENT ®
General
Instructions
For
best results, we suggest you have your authorized
McCulloch Servicing Dealer make required carburetor adjust-
ments.
He has the training, experience, and tools
necessary
to properly prepare your saw to meet Factory performance
specifications.
However, if it becomes
necessary
for you to
make
carburetor adjustments yourself, be certain to observe
the following.
1.
When seating needles (turning them all the way in), be
careful
to do so very gently. The needles and needle
seats
are precision machined. Therefore, they can be
damaged if forcefully
seated.
2.
Never operate the engine
with
a too lean fuel/air mixture
(needles
not backed out sufficiently). The fuel/air mix-
ture supplies lubrication, power, and partial cooling to
the engine.
Severe
overheating and permanent damage
to the engine can result if the mixture is too
lean.
NOTE:
At altitudes near
sea
level
always
be sure
that
the
low speed mixture needle is backed out at least one
turn
and the
high
speed mixture needle is backed out at least
7/8 turn.
These
needles are designated "Lo" and
"Hi".
NOTE:
As
altitude
increases
substantially, to approxi-
mately 5,000 feet (1500 meters) and above, it may be
necessary
to adjust the mixture needles slightly below
the sea level minimum settings.
