Echo 302 idle speed questions

[Chainsaw Collectors]

My Echo Kioritz 302 idles really high. I can’t find an idle screw adjustment on the carburetor. Is there one? If so, where? What should the H and L be set at? I feel kind of dumb for asking because I know I figured out how to lower the idle a few months ago but now I can’t figure it out for the life of me. Thanks for your time.

Why don’t you take the cover off and have a look at the carburetor

Bigger question.... did this just start to idle high recently or has it done this since you have owned it?

I ask because you may have developed an air leak causing a lean condition and that can damage the piston and/or cylinder...

It was like that when I got it, I haven’t cut with it, only ran it 3 times

I found it, choke was hiding it. However after a test it seems we have an air leak. It still idles high and dies.
