They have a fixed jet carb.

All years of them? Maybe he doesn't have a stock carb or something because I swore he use to richer it up for milling. Regardless, any saw that is adjustable I would fatten it up. Extra fuel means a cooler combustion chamber.

There's a couple years early in the run with a H screw. You can slow it down with the L since it feeds the H also.

Supposedly there are a few with an adjustable carb, but I've never seen one, either in person or here on the forum.

I'll ask him when I see him next but was pretty sure his was adjustible. He's had it for a LONG time. I use to think my Dad's 2100 was a big saw until I heard that 3120.
