What is a factory setting for a Husqvarna chainsaw carburetor?
In order for the chainsaw to start anyway, even if the setting is incorrect, the factory settings of the screws H and L are applied. Most Husqvarna chainsaws can be started by unscrewing both screws exactly one and a half turns. Only then can the position of the screws be changed in order to achieve the desired fuel consumption and maximum efficiency. It is regulated by XX also after THESE manipulations.
If you still have questions about adjusting the carburetor on the Husqvarna 137 chainsaw and the second models of this line, I recommend watching this:
What tool is required
First of all, you need to prepare a tool for adjusting the chainsaw carburetor. You will need a set of screwdrivers and open-end wrenches, a special cleaning compound that dissolves soot and debris.
Disassembly is best done on a table or workbench. On a part of the table, lay a flap of clean, preferably light and monochromatic cloth, on which the parts to be removed and a container for washing will be laid out. It is optimal if it is an ultrasonic bath.
Chainsaw carburetor adjustment
Most chainsaw carburetors have three adjustment screws:
- L. jet screw for adjusting low speed
- H. jet screw for high speed adjustment
- Screw. T in partner and Husqvarna (in Stihl LA). adjusting the idle speed of the chainsaw
Screws H and L adjust the ratio of the mixture of gasoline and air, determined by opening the throttle valve of the carburetor. When the screws are unscrewed, the mixture is enriched, and the revolutions increase accordingly, when the screws are tightened, the mixture becomes leaner. the revolutions fall.
The screw T (LA) is designed to adjust the idle speed. The basic setting of the chainsaw is made at the factory during the final test. The carburetor is usually adjusted for a richer (than optimal) fuel mixture. The factory setting must be maintained during the first hours of saw operation. Then (optional) a more precise carburetor adjustment is made.
We begin the adjustment by setting the idle speed, for this we turn the screw T (LA) counterclockwise, achieving a complete stop of the chain at stable engine speeds.
Humidity fine adjustment will need a tachometer and it is better to entrust it to specialists. Especially since in most cases it may NOT be needed.
We start setting up the tool with the L screw, then use the H screw and finally the T screw (LA).
We look for the highest idle speed, for this we slowly turn the screw L in different directions. After finding the position of the highest engine speed, it is necessary to return the screw L by 1/4 turn counterclockwise. If the chain rotates at idle speed, the screw T should be turned clockwise until it stops.
The screw H adjusts the power and speed. Adjusting the carburetor to a lean mixture leads to excessive speed, overheating of the engine and failure of the piston chainsaw.
We warm up the engine of the chainsaw at idle speed for at least 10 seconds and turn the screw H 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Let the engine run for about 10 seconds. Then we check the maximum engine speed with a tachometer. If the maximum speed does not match the passport, the operation should be repeated. When the mixture is too rich, the muffler starts to smoke, when the saw is too lean, it squeals and overheats.
We begin the adjustment by adjusting the idle speed, as already described above. The idle speed is set correctly if the engine runs smoothly at minimum speed and the chain does NOT rotate.
The carburetor can be considered adjusted if the engine accelerates quickly and sounds like a four-stroke at full throttle.

When adjustment is needed
The need to adjust the carburetor of a chainsaw is rare. often there are problems with the flow of fuel, air or wear of parts. But sometimes adjustment is still required:
- A running engine stalls after a few seconds, or Does not start. the reason for this is a too rich mixture;
- Excessive exhaust, high revs, increased consumption. in this case, on the contrary, the mixture is too lean, that is, there is not enough air;
- Rpm is kept at the same level after its decrease or increase by the operator. a prerequisite may be a stuck needle valve.
The factors leading to such changes can be the following:
- Strong vibration will damage the protective cover and the adjusting jets are unscrewed, changing the settings. In this case, it is possible to adjust the carburetor on the chainsaw.
- Wear of elements of the piston system. Adjusting the carburetor in such a situation can be of temporary help. Replacement of worn out components is recommended.
- Poor quality fuel, faulty filter, or long storage can cause blockages. In this situation, the carburetor must be removed, washed with a special liquid or clean gasoline, assembled and re-adjusted.
It is best to start tuning the saw by checking the jets, fuel and air supply. After that, he proceeds to dismantle the carburetor, and then to check the piston system.

What is responsible for supplying a mixture of fuel and oil
For accurate delivery of fuel with oil, the work of the fuel pump is used, which is mechanically driven from the crankshaft. The carburetor itself is equipped with a diaphragm and a special needle valve, which are responsible for regulating the pressure in the system. Thanks to them, the correct operation of the metering chambers and the pump is organized, which improves the operation of the chainsaw.
What is a carburetor?
A carburetor is a device that is designed to prepare a combustible mixture of liquid fuel and air, which ensures the operation of carburetor internal combustion engines.
Modern carburettors are equipped with many different devices and systems, which have numerous holes of different calibers, an extensive network of channels, pneumatic chambers and linkages.
The carburetor is one of the main parts of any fuel-powered equipment. To ensure normal and stable operation of equipment, it is necessary to periodically check and, if necessary, adjust the carburetor.
Chainsaw carburetors have three adjustment screws. Screw “L” is designed to regulate low speed, screw “H” is responsible for regulating high speed, and screw “T”. at idle speed of the chainsaw. So, screws “H” and “L” adjust the ratio of the mixture of air and gasoline, when the screws are unscrewed, the speed increases, since the mixture is enriched, and when tightened, the speed falls.
Generator carburetors often have only one adjusting screw, but many other modifications of this part are also possible. Its adjustment allows you to exclude excessive fuel consumption and leakage of unburned oil.
However, there are quite common cases when the adjustment of the carburetor cannot eliminate the malfunction of the equipment. This is due to the final breakdown of the part, which occurs as a result of natural wear and tear or due to improper operation.

Adjusting the carburetor of your Husqvarna chainsaw
Like all other saws, the husqvarna has the same carburetor adjustment algorithm. Therefore, the instruction will be relevant for other tools and models of chainsaws such as Husqvarna 142.236.
Before starting work Make sure the air filter is clean and all other components are working properly. The fuel supply to the float chamber should work without interruptions, and the ignition system is configured correctly and has a fresh spark plug.
- Set the carburetor to factory settings. This must be done with the engine stopped.
- Now you can start the engine and be sure to warm it up for a few minutes. Adjustment of the XX carburetor of Husqvarna 137 is made only when the engine is warmed up.
- Turning screw L clockwise, you need to set the highest revolutions of the crankshaft, then return it back by a quarter of a turn. Using the T screw, I adjust the crankshaft speed so that the chain does NOT rotate. It should not be set in motion without pressing the accelerator.
- Now you need to set the maximum speed and their power. It is enough to connect the tachometer to the ignition system and set the maximum possible speed using the accelerator. Compare them with your passport data. If they differ, then unscrew or tighten the screw H. By changing the range, you can create restrictions to make the saw work efficient and save the motor resource.
