Philr85 , the IPL on the 2050 shows the WT 324 carb to have springs under the H and L adjust screws .

If you run the saw enough to notice the jet moving, it's time to move up.
Get a real saw. Tie a 40' rope to your Poulan and set it in the front of your fishing boat. Tie the other end to the cleat near the trolling motor. When you get a hit, drop the Poulan.
If you don't think that will work, use it to prevent your SUV from rolling backwards while you fish.

Loose needle screw

I've seen a similar thread where RJS suggested to deform the threads so the vibration would not change the setting .

I thought that was a problem for the psychologist. But anyhow, will it turn to the right to the seated position? If so is the spring still around the screw and gives you tension?

Phil , I remember Lewis Brander using 'Seal-All' from Wal Mart to make some built up diaphrams with that probably stays flexable but is not disolved by gasoline .
