Hard to believe the misinformation about tuning a saw that you can get from U-tube. Many people with very little understanding of chainsaws feel comfortable posting their lack of knowledge as "advice" from an expert. Here are some of my favorites, you got any?
1. This posting shows a guy holding the saw running at WOT while he adjust the low speed screw, thinking he has the secret to tuning a saw.
2. In this one a guy with a new saw is demonstrating that the correct way to break in a new saw is to start with a full tank of fuel and let it sit running at idle until it runs out of fuel.
3. This expert is showing how to tune a saw but all he does is fool around with the low speed screw and sort of get it running but advises to never touch the H screw because it is set by the manufacturer and they know best.
4. Same thing as number 3 except this guy says the H screw is the speed control screw for high speed. Screw it in and the saw runs faster, back it out and the saw runs slower, suggests that you shouldn't fool around with it unless you think the saw is running too slow.
