chainsaws are built to work. good mix and bar and chain oil and run them hard. marty

Well this is my first Husqvarna saw and I was just wondering how good the carb's are adjusted out of the box,how much adjustment do they tend to need after break in period?

Thanks for the reply guy's

Rob....after every saw that I build, I run a tank of fuel through it at idle...whether or not this is necessary can be argued...but its what I do....then I do final adjustments with the bar and chain on.....I have found that each saw is different after break in..some need alot of adjustment...some need none....

Hey guy's,
Good Morning
Whats the best recommended way to adjust the carb on a new saw preferably a Husky 385XP.The saw is from out west and I live in the North East, just wondering about altitude changes etc..Where to start???I noticed that there's not alot of adjustment on the "H" needle not even a full turn.

Thanks for any tip's guy's

Rob...take the carb off that saw...take your dremel (or likewise tool) and cut those restrictors off the jets..takes about 2 minutes....and set as normal...

To be honest....I havent noticed a big problem with altitude...I live at 1500 feet and my guys work at up to..well...at least 5500-6000 feet..(maybe thats not that high??)....and they dont have any problems with the way they are set....altitude can be a funny thing....I know sleds require alot of jetting work...but we really dont experience it much with saws..not here anyway...

Thanks Dennis,

I thought the saw had those restrictors on it,it feels like it only has them on the "H" needle,because I can turn the "L" needle as far as normal.The saw seem's to be surgeing a little at idle and I think it's loading up because when I give it throttle it blows a bit of smoke and then it's fine until it sit's and idles for a few minutes.Do you think I should lean it out a little bit on the "L" needle??
Also when I adjust the "H" needle for full throttle what should the saw sound like ?? Should it have a little "skip" or "blubber" in it at full throttle??

Please help me out
Thanks Alot
