Default Carbuerator Overhaul on a Huskavarna 154 Se

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ! I will do that and the way I feel right now I am
in need of a saw that is better. I do have to give credit where credit
is due and that the Husqvarna served me for years with out one glitch.
I got this saw by doing work for someone on his vehicle and he could
not pay for the work that was done so he gave me the saw as payment and
that was some 10 years ago.

Hi Restrob, Originally yes I did replace those gaskets but not since.
Plug still looks new. What about that third screw on the bottm under
the high low mixture screws ? It is for idle but seems to directly
affect the mixtures because after the overhaul she was racing and I
lowered it and the mixtures went out of wack and needed a reset. What
part does this play is it like the old Carter AFB carb where you had
the big air bleed on the bottom between the mixtures ? Does that
screw
control a air bleed ? My car spark tester does not seem to work on
this machine must be different in voltage than a car engines voltage.
I
was so furious day before last that I wanted to send it sailing into
the nearest wall.



The idle adjustment screw only regulates the butterfly, Set the hi and
low screws where I suggested and try starting it. If it idles too high
with the low speed adjuster opened at one turn leave that adjuster
alone and only lower the idle screw.


If you still can't get it running properly have a friend snap a picture
as it hits the wall and post it here. Then go buy yourself a STIHL and
be done with it !!!
