Then with it going turn the low speed jet until it starts to stall. Then turn the jet the opposite way until it starts to stall. Then put it in between the two stall points. Then adjust the high speed jet. It's a little harder to do. You want it as far counter clockwise "rich" as you can run it and still have power in the cut. If you run the saw and it lacks power in the cut crank it in just a nick and keep trying it. Don't crank it in to lean because it will lack oil and run hot. Of course adjust the idle so it will run without the chain going around. Start it up.
