Hey guys will the carb adjustments cause it not to start though? Also, I am just thinking about returning it to the store. Do you think I got a bad product and what can I do next time so this does not happen again. Next time I am going to put in a champion plug instead of the cheap one in there anything else I should do. Also, How long should I expect the saw to last since I cut 6 cords of wood a year? Thanks.
You will want this tool...

$40 really? Seems high for such a basic tool.
I read this a while ago somewhere on here and saved it as a note:
"Using a piece of 1/4" dowel rod, center drill it with a 9/64" drill bit and then gently tap it on the screws." Now you have a wooden adjuster, should work just fine.
The tool???
YES!!!
Pay $40 for it???
HELL NO!!!
I paid 15 bucks for mine...
Yes I did use two stroke gas 40 to 1 ratio. Is there a thread on this website that shows me how to adjust the carb once I get the new one. Why did the piston go on mine could the carb setting really do that this early?
That sounds more reasonable, but check the link. "1 new from $39.95" is all that is listed. I can't find them on eBay right now either other than in a $60 kit that has 3 others bundled with it.

OOPS!! I did not realize the caps lock was on. I apologize for any misunderstanding. Thanks again everyone for all of the advice it means a lo!!! I know this saw was cheap but I think I ended up with a lemon!!
Okay I got the new saw and I ran it without adjusting the carb. It only took a few cuts to realize it needs adjusted thanks epa standards!! So, since I do not have the tool I turned the high setting one and half turns counter clockwise but it still was not blurbing like I though. I think I need to cut slots on the crab adjusters so Ican use a regular screwdriver instead of the 40 dollar tool. Should I do that or did I adjust the high setting too much because I don't know about others but my poulan gets hot only using it for a few minutes. Also do I nee to adjust the low and idle eventually. Let me know, If I should post this on the poulan thread cause so many n here use these regularly.
