My Dad took his Husky 435 down to the dealer a few weeks back to get the recoil starter replaced (he was mad at the saw and took it there in a huff, otherwise I would've just done it myself)
While it was there apparently they 'tuned it up' and ever since it hasn't been running quite right. When you give it throttle, it revs up about half as high as it should, hits a ceiling and has trouble breaking through it. sometimes it will get there if you keep the throttle held open with no load.
After running it like this a few times I realized that it ran great for a few moments before running out of fuel. So I ordered one of the overly expensive EPA carb adjustment tools, and leaned out the H screw 1/8th turn at a time. I ended up leaning it out 1/4 turn, and it is running slightly better, but it is still not revving right up to the RPM it should.
I do not want to keep leaning out the mixture for fear of damaging something, and I don't really want to take it down to the dealer again. What should I do next?
