I suspect someone has fiddled with them because the saw was running badly to start with. If the saw was running well then started to play up and then someone has then fiddled with the carb to try and get the saw working again, it wasnt the carb settings that were at fault in the first place there is another issue somewhere that needs to be sorted first.

Probably worth pulling the carb, checking the impulse line, the fuel line and filter then checking the pumping section of the carb for the "shyte in the gauze strainer" issue and then take the H&L screws out, bit of carb cleaner down them and set at 1&1 turns out then check the diaphragm and metering arm height.

 

I usually pressure check carbs to ensure the needle is sealing but in absence of this, put it all back together and try - 40 mins work and should get it singing:thumbup:

As far as I know, after some time in the late 1990s (early 1998 for the 066) the numbers on the covers were changed from being the basic setting, to be the amount of adjustment that the limiters allow.

 

I don't know for sure if that still is the case, but haven't seen any indication that it isn't.....

Once had a MS880 in with the H screw set to 1/2 turn, needles to say, the piston had expired!:blushing:
