Experienced gardeners share their insights in answering this question :
If the carb mounting screws are tight then it is likely that the entire cylinder assembly is loose ( this is common) and the cylinder to crankcase screws need to be loc-tited and tightened.If the carb mounting screws just spin and dont tighten then they are stripped. The intake block is plastic so you can either try over sized screws ( first try a screw that is the same diameter but a bit longer) or replace the intake block.

- Tightening the screw is also called making the fuel mixture leaner, which lowers the RPMs at which the engine idles.
Find the adjustment screws on the front of the carburetor.
There should be two screws on the front of the carburetor, which are used to adjust the air and fuel mixture. These often look like flat-head screws, and you can use a screwdriver to turn them, adjusting the amount of fuel and air mixing in the carb.
Q: How Do I Know if My Carburetor Needs Adjusting? A: Simply put, poor running conditions are a dead giveaway. A rough idle, poor throttle response, and excessive fuel consumption are all signs to look for. If the carburetor was sitting for some time or hasn`t been serviced in a while, you may need to clean it first.

What is carburator ajustment screw setting
ANSWER : Just about any 2-cycle can be started by bottoming out the pins fully. (All in, clockwise rotation) Then, back them out 2 and a half turns. Remember, this will get it to start! Getting it to RUN will take some tweaking. If it idles, no worries, the idle is just there to keep it warm. Concentrate on fiddling with your high speed screw after the engine has idled up to operating temp for at least 3 minutes, and when placed into LOAD. NEVER adjust by sound or feel with NO LOAD. Too easy to get them too lean and pop their little heads off. ;D

Unable to tighten chain .. too droopy.
ANSWER : There are usually two 7/16″ nuts on the side of the chain saw. Loosen those a little first, then turn the screw to tighten the chain – not too tight or you’ll stretch out the chain when you use it. Don’t forget to re-tighten the two nuts before using the chainsaw.
