Husqvarna 562xp wont idle?

[david newbie]

You're absolutely sure there's no holes in the fuel lines?

Does it start easily, or do you have to play with the choke and/or crank it with the throttle engaged?

I will try pressure testing from the fuel tank line again. It starts fairly easily, 3-4 pulls Although it doesn’t start so easily unless it’s on half throttle

Something is just off if it needs the throttle held open a little for it to idle, but runs normal other wise. The selinoid isn't going to stick and then magically move when the throttle is opened a bit. I haven't had one in my hands recently, but I was sure there was (at least at one time) a little black plastic screw to adjust the idle speed/ butterfly open.

Does anyone know the likely location of a screw that might affect the idle?

It would be obvious, may have just been an el42 early carb thing. Didn't pay attention on the last one I worked on, which was much newer.
