Ok here goes. you are write to wind out the screws 1 1/4 turns +/-
you have 2 scews for the carb jets, the other is the idle speed adjuster. it has a conical shaft which simply open the throtle more as you screw it in. wind this in so that it will run a bit fast . if you can, start the saw. Without pulling the throttle, slowly turn the "low" jet in , or out untill the saw runs faster. if it starts running too fast, adjust the idle speed scew down a little. do this untill it is running best. adjust the idle speed down until the cahin just stops moving. the low speed is now set. now pull the trigger and run the saw full throttle. adjust the "high" jet in or out slightly until it is running fastest. Note..if you turn either screw in too far, the engine will stall.
I hope this helps,
Another thing that could cause problems is if there is an air gap between the carb and the cylinder. check that fixing screws are tight. check that the gasket is ok. some saws have a small rubber manifold between the carb and the cylinder. if this manifold is perferated or damaged,it will let air into the engine, and therefore will not run right.
good luck.
