The EZ has an adjustment on the trigger to idle/part through fast idle/start this can affect the idle running the manual tells how to set this up.

Yep.  They have a funky, screw adjustable sliding stop within the trigger.  Weird, but works well.   Was looking at/admiring that a few months ago when I had the carb out to put a kit in it.  I take the grip half off and remove the trigger when pulling the carbs on these saws as it makes things MUCH easier.  Don't have to fight the throttle linkage while R/R'ng the carb and making sure the mounting gasket stays put.  Same with the XL12/SXL series and others.

I will have to check into that because this saw has no throttle lock on it.   So I hold it with my right hand with the throttle wide open and pull it with my left hand.   

On these saws, the comp release button in the rear handle is also the throttle lock.  Squeeze the trigger, push the button, then release the trigger.  Comp release and high idle will be set.  Blip the throttle to release.  That's where this series got the "E-Z" name.............from the easy starter pull (in an era when there weren't yet lightweight arborist saws.............these were often used up in the tree).  If you need trigger/throttle lock bits I can send you some.
