I have been having trouble with my Husqvarna 435 conking out after 10 minutes and I have struggled to get the right fuel mixture. I have set L and H to 1.5 turns counter-clockwise (the manual does not say which way feeds more or less fuel, but I saw this setting suggested in a video). The saw cuts out when it goes to idle. The spark screen looks good, the fuel is new 50-1 out of the ethanol-free cans, the air and fuel filters are clean, the saw only has 6 - 10 hours on it, and I have cleaned the spark plug with an emery cloth. The question/issue I have is that the idle screw has an infinite rotate. I mean it has no fully off or on stopping point. So, I am having trouble just getting to a starting point... Is this normal or does it indicate a broken idler screw? Also, for a basic FYI, for fuel mix L and H, which direction gives is more gas? Clockwise or counter clockwise? My L may be too low. TIA.
