I need a little guidance. I sharpen a couple saws for an older friend of mine. He is not a chainsaw fanatic, just a homeowner with a couple saws for grounds upkeep. He mentioned that this 025 of his runs and cuts great, but won't idle, so I said I'd look at it.
Here's where I get lost. I mostly dabble in vintage saws. The tuning consists of high, low, and idle speed. This saw has L and LA. Yes, I realize I live in the dark ages and probably every saw made in the last 20 or 30 years is like this, but I do not have experience with it. Could someone give me a brief overview of tuning this saw? I did search this site, and came up with a lot of high speed tuning info, but I am having problems with idle.
On a side note, this saw has what looks like a piece of tubing coming up from the fuel tank with a couple of set screws in it? WTH is that? Here is a pic of it. The HO doesn't mess with his saws, so I'm guessing it came that way.
Thanks in advance for any help.
