Now that I have all my saws running, I wanted to make sure they were all tuned. Mostly my craftsman 3.7" and my poulan 2055. The craftsman I just rebuilt and fired for the first time in probably 15 years or so. I used the starting settings (1 turn out) and had to fatten up the low speed to get it to idle. I seem ok with adjusting low speed as I'm hearing it ok to find the sweet spot. The high speed is where I'm struggling. I watched and read numerous things on it. Seemed easy enough until I tried doing it myself. Maybe it's my ears...
I considered getting a tach to do it based on max rpms to help as a noob to carb tuning but that only helps me with the craftsman. I can't find jack for max rpms for the poulans (all newer - 2055, 3416, 2775)...
The poulan 2055 I pulled the limiter caps off as it was bogging bad when I would squeeze the trigger and I couldn't get the adjustment out of it. I fattened up the high speed and it now revs good... Once again I'm not really hearing if it's right though...
Just curious as to how long it took others. I haven't tried them in the cut yet. I drained them all for now (with the exception of the 2775 which I'm still working on) until I start cutting and am figuring I'll have to tune a little once I start cutting.
