Counterclockwise to richen ?

Graeme · 30th June 2009, 08:32 PM

Just got a good deal on a new CS350TES Echo on Ebay, I know it's not a 200T but it was under 1/3 of the price. I reckon the saw is running a bit lean, and have just removed the limiter caps from the mixture screws, I an assuming that turning counterclockwise will richen the mixture, can anyone confirm this ? This saw seems to have a rev limiter and screwing the mixture untill you feel you have max. revs. doesn't seem to be the way to tune it, instead I will richen it by small amounts at a time untill I feel it's running best under load. By the way turning the slow speed screw 1/4 counterclockwise has made it rediculously easy to start, quite literally one half hearted pull and it fires, even if it has been sitting for a week.

Another way to tell if you are going the Right Way or not, is to pay attention to the Needle Valve Screw as you turn it. If it is going in, you are closing it, or Leaning it. If the Needle Valve Screw goes out as you turn it, you are opening it, or Richening. Bruce.
