Try the adjustment. IF it does not work, pressure test the carb. If the inlet needle does stay sealed, check the hi speed nozzle if it has one. When it does not shut off at low speed, the saw will stall at idle.

rolleyes:
Shouldn't need a new carb...but on the 240 (ZAMA) carb, there is an unusual amount of wear on the throttle shaft.... soft metal???too heavy spring?? Whatever, the shaft is less than $3.
With the carb out, wiggle the shaft at the spring end.
Any sign of laterial wear means an air leak.
