Carburettor

Your Husqvarna product has been designed and
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful
emissions.
After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine
has broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak
performance and producing the least amount of harmful
emissions after break in, have your authorized servicing
dealer, who has a revolution counter at his disposal, to
adjust your carburettor for optimum operating conditions.

Basic setting

• The carburettor is set to its basic setting when test run at the

factory. The basic setting is richer than the optimal setting and
should be kept during the machine’s first working hours.
Thereafter the carburettor should be finely adjusted. Fine
adjustment should be carried out by a skilled technician.

NOTE! If the blade rotates while the engine is idling the T screw
should be turned anticlockwise until the cutting attachment
stops.
Rec. idling speed: 2 700 rpm.
Rec. max speed: See 

”Technical data”.

!

WARNING!
The complete clutch cover with shaft must
be fitted before the machine is started,
otherwise the clutch can become loose and
cause personal injury.

Operation

•  The carburettor governs

the engine’s speed via the
throttle. Air/fuel is mixed in
the carburettor. The air/fuel
mixture is adjustable. To
take advantage of the
engine’s optimal output the
adjustment must be correct.

• The setting of the

carburettor means that the
engine is adapted to local
conditions, for example, the
climate, altitude, petrol and
the type of 2-stroke oil.

• The carburettor is equipped

with three adjustment
possibilities:
L = Low speed needle
H= High speed needle
T = Idle speed adjuster

screw

• The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by the

throttle opening is adjusted using the L and H-needles.
Turning the needles clockwise gives a leaner fuel mixture
(less fuel) and turning them anticlockwise gives a richer fuel
mixture (more fuel). A leaner mixture gives high revs while a
richer mixture give less revs.

• The T-screw regulates the position of the throttle while the

engine is idling. Turning the screw clockwise gives a higher
idling speed while turning it anticlockwise gives a lower idling
speed.

!

WARNING!
If the idling speed cannot be adjusted so that
the cutting attachment stops, contact your
service workshop. Do not use the machine
until it has been correctly adjusted or
repaired.

Fine adjustment

• When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburettor should

be finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried
out by qualified person.  First adjust the L-jet, then the idling
screw T and then the H-jet.

Conditions

• Before any adjustments are made the air filter should be clean

and the air filter cover fitted. Adjusting the carburettor while a
dirty air filter is in use will result in a leaner mixture when the
filter is finally cleaned. This can give rise to serious engine
damage.

• Turn the L and H needles carefully to the middle point

between fully screwed in and fully screwed out.

• Do not attempt to adjust the needles beyond the stops as

damage can occur.

• Now start the machine as set out in the start instructions and

run it warm for 10 minutes.
NOTE! If the cutting equipment rotates/moves while idling the
T screw should be turned anticlockwise until the cutting
equipment stops.

Low speed needle L

Try to find the highest idling
speed, turning the low speed
needle L clockwise
respectively counter-
clockwise. When the highest
speed has been found, turn
the low speed needle L 1/4
turn counter-clockwise.
NOTE! If the cutting
attachment rotates/moves in
the idling position, turn the
idling speed screw T counter-
clockwise until the cutting
attachment stops.
