    My oldest saw is a husky40. It won't idle. It starts fine a day runs OK if I keep rims up using the trigger. I know the idle screw needs to be adjusted, but darned if I can find it. :( once I locate it, I can adjust the carb, which I've not attempted in the past.

    Anyone with a husky40 that knows where the screws are located?

    Off to the Google and the YouTube, for now.

    And, it now remains idling, when I back off the trigger and the chain stops.

    My mother will be so proud of me when I tell her!!

    :cool:
