365 xt Carb Adjustment

[SierraMtns]

The 365 x-torq arrived and I jumped right in checking the factory settings on the carb. Both "L" and "H" where set at 1/2 turn out and then stopped. So it looks like I only have a 1/2 turn of adjustment? Huh? Is there a way to change the screws so I have full range of adjustments?

Here is a picture of what I am working with.

I was able push in the rings around the screws and then back them all the way out. Then put the springs back on the screws and turn them back in. Now I have full range of carb adjustment.

Whats a safe starting put for setting "L" and "H" screws? I have a tachometer to tune it after that.

Thanks

1 turn each is the usual starting point but if they are allowing a half turn from the factory that will be very rich. Make sure to tune or retune when the saw is hot especially the high screw.

The limiter stops are removed so I have full range in turning the screw in or out.

If you have a tach set max RPM at 13000 check out fleetcommands videos on YouTube for extra tuning tips
