    Question Dolmar 117 carb adjustment

    Just put a brand new Tillotson HS222 carb on my Dolmar 117 (fixed the non running issue) but am wondering what the proper adjustment on the H and L screws are before I start messing with the idle adjustment.
    Anyone have an old tech manual for this saw, or know what the factory setting should be?

    I have a Dolmar 117. I don't have the repair manual, however I checked the adjustment screws on mine. The L screw was set at approximately 3/4 turn. The H screw was slighly more than 1 turn. I would start with one turn for both of them and then tweak it from there.
