    Hi looking for some advice on this.

    Inherited a garage that has a couple of saws that haven't ran in a few yrs. Couldn't start a 20" Proplus and the local chainsaw guy said the carb was destroyed and it wasnt worth fixing. The needle valve was after expanding and was jammed solid. Bought a cheap chinese carb stuck it in and it fired after 2 pulls. :pac:The chain is running on idle and on full throttle it has a small bit too much vibration. What carb adjustments would need to be made?

    If the chain is running on idle it can mean the clutch is the problem. Husqvarna saws have a grease point on the clutch. Remove the clutch cover and see is there a hole in middle of clutch. Needs a particular grease gun but are cheap. YouTube is a handy teacher.
