Poulan BH 2660 Cleaning the air filter, Inspect Muffler And Spark Arresting Screen, Idle Speed-T

Cleaning the air filter:

Clean more frequently in dusty conditions. A used aire filter can never be completely cleaned. It is advisable to re- place your air filter with a new one after every 50 hours of operation, or annually, whichever comes first.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: The chain will be mov- ing during most of this procedure. Wear your protective equipment and observe all safety precautions. The chain must not move at idle speed.

The carburetor has been carefully set at the factory. Adjustments may be necessary if you notice any of the following conditions:

SChain moves at idle. See IDLE SPEED--T adjusting procedure.

SSaw will not idle. See IDLE SPEED--T ad- justing procedure.

Idle Speed-T

Allow engine to idle. If the chain moves, idle is too fast. If the engine stalls, idle is too slow. Adjust speed until engine runs without chain movement (idle too fast) or stalling (idle too slow). The idle speed screw is located in the area above the primer bulb and is labeled T.

STurn idle speed screw (T) clockwise to in- crease engine speed.

STurn idle speed screw (T) counterclock-
