Carb adjustment help on Stihl 009

[josh lemmond]

I just acquired a white body 009. It runs great at full throttle but will die while trying to idle. I did some reading and common sense says to adjust the L screw on the carb....but I can't find the adjustment screw.

Can anybody help me out?

I dont remember where it is, but i played with an 009 of my friends so i know it has adjustment screws somewhere. There will be two holes in the plastic somewhere.

mine only has ONE mixture adjustment screw. sorry, that's all. tune it for throttle response and then adjust the idle speed screw. course you could always put a different carb on it.

I've got it idling better now. I don't really know what adjustment screw I was turning, but it's running better now. Thanks guys.
