Which is the idle screw on a Homelite UT10444 12'' textron chain saw, I do not have a manual. Runs fine full out but will not idle just dies. top adjustment screw has an H, bottom screw has an L, screw to the right is not identified.
thanks

The screw to the farthest rt. is the idle speed screw. The lower of the other screws is the low speed mixture screw. Upper is high speed mixture screw.If the saw will start , turn idle speed screw clockwise untill chain starts to run then back it off untill chain stops. after saw warms up , set low speed mix screw for highest idle. If chain runs at that setting ,adjust idle speed screw to stop chain. Chain should not run at idle.

The screw labled (H) should be the high speed adjustment. The one labeled (L) is the low speed.
Turn the slow speed screw all the way till it stops,
then back it out 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns. Also make sure your
carb is clean. You may have to play with the adjustments alittle to get it to run right at low speed.
You should be able to find info on your
saw on the net, also try (arboristsite.com) it's a great
site full of info and many links to others. Good luck.
