I replaced the ignition coil and cleaned carburetor on my Stihl 025 chainsaw. It wouldnt idle and died when you stop reving. I think it was just the adjustment screws (L). When reassembled, it seems to be at "full rev" or very high rpm. I started playing with the adjustment screws but cant get it to idle. What is the trick on the adj screw? Manual says crank the L screw down to seat, then back off one turn. Did that but the rpm is so high when I start it, it sounds crazy. Tonight I will try going all the way counter clockwise then one turn clockwise. Ran out of time last night.
Any help would be appreciated to get me on the right track. Knowing that I took it all apart, does the symptom sound like something else? The choke and throttle adjustment are intact and working. Need to cut tonight, but I fear I will spend most of my night trying to get the thing running/idling properly.
Thanks in advance.
