I'm cutting up some downed trees for a guy who wants to give me a clean Husqvarna 55 for my time. I took it home and got is started but it has some issues.
1. After reving the saw it won't idle, just dies immediately. I adjusted the idle screw and that helps a bit but it still runs rough when I'm off the throttle.
2. After it shuts down, chain oil drips out excessively. The manual says that the oil feed is set at the factory and not adjustable. That doesn't seem right; it must be adjustable.

Any advice for a newbie would be appreciated.
