Hey all, I just found an old Homelite chain saw in which I am trying to fix up, ust for a cheap around home usage deal...But, I've run into some problems with my Carb...The carb on the saw is a Tillotson 3, If someone could tell me the high/low ajustments that would be a great help and any other little tweaks that will make the saw run a little better would be great as well, Thanks alot

Darrell,
Due to the way your Tillotson carburetor has had the pop-off pressure set, the needle adjustment and the track performance will vary. The following is only a starting position for the needles. From this point on, track tuning will be necessary to dial in the Tillotson that you have. Low side needle out 1 � turn, high side needle � to 1 turn out. If your carburetor won't dial in somewhere in this range then you will have to change the pop-off pressure.

Regards,

Bruce
