Carburetor
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful
emissions.
After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine
has broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak
performance and producing the least amount of harmful
emissions after break in, have your authorized servicing
dealer, who has a revolution counter at his disposal, to adjust
your carburetor for optimum operating conditions.
Basic setting
The carburetor is set to its basic setting when test run at the
factory. The basic setting should be kept during the
machines first working hours. Thereafter the carburetor
should be finely adjusted. Fine adjustment should be carried
out by a skilled technician.
NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves in the idling
position, turn the idling speed screw counter-clockwise until
the blade stops.
Rec. idling speed 24R, 245R/RX: 2 700 rpm.
Recommended max. speed: See “technical data”.
MAINTENANCE
!
WARNING!
The complete clutch cover with shaft must
be fitted before the machine is started,
otherwise the clutch can become loose
and cause personal injury.
!
WARNING!
Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle
speed setting cannot be adjusted so
that the cutting attachment stops. Do
not use the machine until it has been
properly adjusted or repaired.
Fine adjustment
When the machine has been run-in the carburetor should
be finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried
out by qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the
idling screw T and then the H-jet.
Conditions
Before any adjustments are made the airfilter should be clean
and the airfilter cover fitted. Adjusting the carburetor while
a dirty airfilter is in use will result in a leaner mixture when
the filter is finally cleaned. This can give rise to serious
engine damage.
Carefully turn the L and H needle to the mid point between
fully turned in and fully turned out.
Do not attempt to adjust the needles beyond the stops as
damage can occur.
Now start the machine according to the starting instructions
and run it warm for 10 minutes.
NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves the T screw
should be turned anti-clockwise until the cutting attachment
stops.

Functioning
The carburetor governs the
engine speed via the
throttle trigger. In the
carburetor, air/fuel is
mixed. This air/fuel
mixture is adjustable. If
you want to take advantage
of the maximum output of
the engine, the setting
must be corret.
The setting of the
carburetor means that the
engine is adjusted to local
conditions, for example
climate, altitude, gasoline
and type of two-stroke oil.
The carburetor has three
adjustment possibilities:
L= Low speed needle
H= High speed
adjustment screw
T= Idle speed adjustment
screw
The fuel quantity required
in proportion to the
airflow the throttle trigger
level allows is adjusted by
means of the L- and H-
needles. Turning the
needles clockwise gives a
leaner fuel mixture (less
fuel), turning them
counter-clockwise gives a
richer fuel mixture (more
fuel). A lean mixture gives
higher rpms and a rich one
lower rpms.
The idling speed screw T
regulates the position of
the throttle lever in the idling speed position. Turn the
idling speed screw clockwise gives a higher idling speed, turn
it counter-clockwise a lower idling speed.
Low speed needle L
Try to find the highest idling
speed, turning the low speed
needle L clockwise
respectively counter-
clockwise. When the highest
speed has been found, turn
the low speed needle L 1/4
turn counter-clockwise.
NOTE! If the cutting
attachment rotates/moves in
the idling position, turn the
idling speed screw T
counter-clockwise until the
cutting attachment stops.
