Modded, ported 346xpne, and I was told it has a larger Walbro HDA199 carb... finally getting to use it after a long down time. Long story but it hasn't been used in a few years and I would just crank it several times a year and run it a minute or so to, hopefully, keep it functional. Now, after (hopefully) getting it all fixed up and now cutting with it some, it dies often at idle. (It runs great otherwise.) Using 40:1 mix with Echo Red Armour oil. It has a tach onboard and when I first started using it recently, it was idling around 3500 but I note it has since varied between 2500 and 3600. What exactly should I do to tune for idle so it doesn't die? And what high rpm to tune to? (When it dies, I have to then choke it and it hits one time and then I turn choke off and it will crank in a pull or two. This is even with a warm saw.) TIA!
