How to adjust the carburetor on a Partner 350 chainsaw
How to adjust the carburetor of the “Partner 350” chainsaw
When performing construction and repair work in the country, it is impossible to do without the use of a gasoline saw. The same can be said for garden maintenance. In the event of a failure of this tool, all work will stall, so it is very important to be able to independently find and eliminate faults. With some experience, you can independently adjust the carburetor. Although this procedure is quite complicated, if desired, anyone can learn how to perform it.
Mechanical causes of failure
The emergence of the need to regulate the carburetor of the Partner-350 chainsaw can also be caused by mechanical failures. For example, strong vibrations can damage the protective cover. As a result, the rigid fixation of the bolts in the carburetor is weakened.

Another possible reason is the wear of the piston part of the engine. In this case, adjusting the carburetor allows the unit to be used for some time, however, to eliminate the problem, replacement of the worn part is required. Another reason could be a blockage caused by the use of low quality fuel. Dross build-up and damage to the filter can lead to such consequences. To eliminate the problems that have arisen, the carburetor must be disassembled, thoroughly rinsed and then adjusted.
The need for adjustment
The need to regulate the carburetor of the Partner-350 gasoline saw is quite rare. The most common problems that arise are associated with engine wear or improper fuel supply. To determine the moment when the need to adjust the mechanism arises, there are several signs. One of them is that the engine stalls immediately after it has been started. In other cases, it is not possible to start it at all. Such problems are caused by an excess of oxygen or a lack of fuel. A malfunction can occur with an increase in fuel consumption, as a result of which the volume of exhaust gases increases. The reason for this process is the oversaturation of the fuel mixture with fuel.
Additional recommendations
After purchasing the Partner-350 chainsaw, you can adjust the carburetor while using it. Before starting this work, it should be noted that the factory settings are optimal. Using the screws described above, you can adjust the operation of the engine in special cases when extraordinary external circumstances require it, for example, individual climatic conditions. When adjusting, use the screws marked with the letters H and L. To reduce the speed, turn them counterclockwise. To increase the speed, turn the screws in the opposite direction.
The required sequence of use of the screws is of great importance. It looks like this: L. H. T. If difficulties arise during the regulation process, it is advisable to seek professional help in a timely manner, since an incorrect setting can cause engine damage.
Principle of operation
Owners of a Partner-350 gasoline saw may need to adjust the carburetor while using this equipment. In order to carry out this procedure properly, great attention should be paid to familiarization with the principle of operation of this technical element. As a result of the spraying of fuel in the diffuser by a stream of air, a mixture is formed that is pumped into the cylinder. The more fuel is supplied, the higher the engine speed is. The functioning of the carburetor in the described model of equipment occurs in accordance with the above described scheme. Other models use the same circuit.
Carburetor device
After deciding to adjust the Partner-350 chainsaw, the first step is to study the design features of its parts. The most important part of the system is the diffuser, which serves as a restriction device to increase the flow rate of the supplied oxygen. The diffuser is located directly next to the inlet through which the fuel is supplied. The flow of incoming oxygen is regulated using a tube with a transverse damper available in the carburetor design. The fuel is supplied through a nozzle in the form of a needle. The design of the carburetor also includes a float chamber, the purpose of which is to regulate the fuel supply when entering the channel.

Disassembly
Before proceeding with the regulation of the carburetor of the Partner-350 gasoline saw, it is necessary to study the design of the unit in all details. Since it is used almost unchanged in many models, the recommendations below are relevant for the vast majority of them.
When removing elements, you should be extremely careful when laying them out in the same order in which they were dismantled. This will facilitate the subsequent assembly. The top cover is held in place by three screws that need to be removed. After that, a layer of foam rubber will become visible, serving as an element of the air filter. To remove the drive rod, you need to get rid of the gas hose. It is impossible to adjust the carburetor of the Partner-350 chainsaw without removing the tip of the cable; this must be done at the next stage. The fuel hose located on the left side of the fitting must be thrown off. After completing all the above procedures, you can disconnect the carburetor and start adjusting it. This mechanism is very complex, for this reason, during the subsequent disassembly, it is necessary to be extremely careful when removing parts. Without this, they are easy to lose due to their small size.
When you need to adjust the carburetor of a chainsaw
Adjusting the carburetor of the Partner P350S chainsaw is necessary only if there are obvious problems with the equipment. In the original state after purchase, no adjustment is required. The cause of problems with the carburetor can be temperature changes during storage of the saw or an incorrectly selected fuel mixture. If changing the fuel does not help, and the saw screeches or smoke appears from the exhaust pipe, then adjustment is still necessary. Under ideal conditions, and specifically in a service center, it is much easier to do this for the reason that there is special equipment there, namely carburetor stroke counters and tachometers. If such tools are not at hand, you need to apply all your skills and experience to achieve the desired result.
Adjusting the carburetor of the Partner P350S chainsaw
Despite the fact that improper adjustment of the carburetor of the Partner P350S chainsaw can simply disable the tool, many craftsmen try to do this operation on their own, bypassing the service center. It is worth noting that this operation can be calculated as a violation of warranty obligations, therefore, all responsibility for the actions performed falls on the shoulders of the user.
Adjusting the carburetor of the Partner 350 chainsaw with your own hands
The carburetor of the Partner P350S chainsaw is adjusted with just three screws. They are indicated by the corresponding symbols L, H, T. Each of them is responsible for its function. Screw L is for adjusting low rpm, while screw H is for high rpm. The idle speed adjustment screw is designated T. Its basic adjustment can be carried out even with the engine off. So, turning the screw to the right increases the speed, and to the left decreases it. The smaller the adjustment step, the more accurate it is. Therefore, for the basic setting, a step of ¼ of a revolution is used, and for an accurate setting, no more than 1/16. The chain should not rotate when idling. This is exactly what needs to be achieved by adjusting the screw T. But this operation is carried out after adjusting L and H. First, they regulate low speed, then high. They also control power and speed. It should be noted that the most accurate adjustment is made with a warm engine.

The carburetor of the Partner P350S chainsaw is adjusted correctly if the engine accelerates immediately after starting.
Idle speed setting
Before proceeding with the adjustment, you should make sure that:
- The engine runs stably, the chain does not move.
- Strong smoke is absent.
The adjustment algorithm is as follows:
- The Ural saw engine starts up and warms up a little. The screw sets the minimum speed so that the chain stays in place. If the mixture is too rich (heavy smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe), then the screw should be tightened a little. This will reduce smokiness and increase rpm.
- Then it is necessary to return all settings to the level of minimum and stable rpm. This is done by partially unscrewing the screw.
- The next step is to test the engine for throttle response. If, after pressing the throttle lever firmly, the revolutions go up quickly, then everything has been done correctly, and the screw must be securely fixed in this position.
In the event that the engine stops working or revs up slowly, the screw should be slightly unscrewed. In order to increase the speed, the screw is turned a little. After the Ural saw engine is re-tested for throttle response.
How to properly adjust the carburetor on a chainsaw?
Before adjusting the carburetor on a chainsaw, you will need to study the meaning of the three screws required for adjustment. These screws have specific markings and names:
- The “L” screw is needed to adjust the low speed;
- The “H” screw is required when tuning the motor for high speed operation;
- Screw “T” is needed to adjust idle speed.
It is worth noting that some chainsaws are equipped with only one “T” screw, so the carburetors of such models are adjusted by manipulating only this screw.
No matter how many screws there are on the chainsaw, the factory settings of the carburetor are the most optimal for its operation. The screws themselves were originally used to adjust the chainsaw to work in certain weather conditions.
Chainsaw carburettors with three screws should be adjusted using screws “L” and “H”. To increase the speed, they should be turned clockwise. In order to reduce the speed, the screws turn against it. To adjust the carburetor, you need a special screwdriver for adjustment. it will not slide off the screws and damage the threads on their “caps”.
The carburetor adjustment process consists of two stages: initial and main. The algorithm of actions during adjustment is as follows:
- During the first step, screws “L” and “H” must be tightened clockwise to the very end;
- After that, these screws must be turned 1.5 turns in the opposite direction;
- At the second stage, you need to start the chainsaw and leave it for 10 minutes to fully warm up;
- Then start turning the screw “T” until the chainsaw motor starts to run stably and the chain on the bar does not rotate.
Tuning Algorithm
Calibration of the Ural 2 Electron saw carburetor consists in changing the amount of the fuel mixture and its quality characteristics. In this case, there are two types of adjustment.
DIY carburetor repair
The fact that the carburetor needs repair can be determined by the following signs: unstable engine operation, excessive fuel consumption, jumps in engine power, pops.
What can be replaced in the carburetor without contacting a specialist:
- fuel filter (flushing or replacing). when the engine jerks and sneezes;
- needle valve. if the needle gets stuck in the valve or is stuck;
- fuel pump diaphragm. wear;
- gasket under the cover of the main chamber. not tight.
- disassemble and wash the carburetor, if the air filter is clogged;
- tighten the bolts, if they lose their fixation due to the intense vibration of the chainsaw.
Walbro manufactures self-service extended repair kits that include virtually all carburetor parts (fuel inlet needle, rocker arm, rocker shaft, filter screens, membrane).
How the carburetor works
In different models of chainsaws, the structural device of the carburetor may differ, however, the principle of operation of this part is always the same: the forced air flow moves in the direction of the air (pulse) channel, the air is regulated by the air damper. Entering the impulse channel, the air changes its speed. The speed change is influenced by a special valve that closes the air inlet. Fuel is supplied to the air duct and mixed with the air flow. As a result, a combustible fuel-air mixture is formed, which then enters the engine and burns there.

Step-by-step sequence of the adjustment process
Before proceeding with the adjustment, remember:
- adjustment is carried out only “hot”, that is, the engine must be started and warmed up for 10 minutes;
- then the adjusting screw is turned counterclockwise and the chain of the chainsaw is stopped;
- before adjusting the chainsaw, put it on a flat surface, and direct the saw part away from the owner;
- for adjustment, three screws with letter designations are used, H. adjusts the upper speed, controls the main jet, L. adjusts the idle jet, adjusts low speed, T. adjusts the idle speed.
How to setup
Chainsaw carburetor adjustment is carried out as follows. Before adjusting the carburetor on a chainsaw, you should find out if all filters are clean. The device is adjusted with three screws:
- main jet H;
- idle L;
- idle speed adjustment S (some manufacturers call it LA or T).
Before starting the adjustment, you must read the saw manual. When making the adjustment, you should follow the rules:
- The tool is installed on the workbench so that it is in a stable position.
- The chain of the device must be directed away from you.
- There must be at least 2 m between the instrument and other objects in the room.
It is important to have information on how the tuning takes place in the event of a structural failure. Turn on the carburetor and wait 10 minutes
Adjustment begins by finding the location of the L screw at which the idle speed will be high. Need a wrench to adjust the bolts. Gradually twist the bolt, first in one direction, then in the other, until the correct position is taken. Then twist the screw 1 / 8-1 / 4 turn counterclockwise. Then fix the idle with the S (or T, LA) screw.
If, after tightening the needle bolt L, the chain does not move, then gradually turn the screw S clockwise until the chain begins to move. Then adjust S 1 / 8-1 / 4 turn back. If the chain moves, turn the screw S counterclockwise until it is tightened. Then we twist S by 1 / 8-1 / 4 turns in the same direction.
Partner P350 carburetor adjustment
The internal combustion engine must function evenly. You should also check how it accelerates. If you press the accelerator, the revs should rise to the maximum. This means that the motor spins well.
At the end, they test the operation of the device at idle. When the adjustment is done correctly, then the structure should not perform work like this:
- The chain is motionless.
- The sound of the internal combustion engine is the same as that of a 4-stroke generator.
- If you click on the accelerator, there will be a fast promotion.
If these requirements are not met, then the idle speed must be adjusted. To do this, tighten screw S as described earlier. If it does not help, you should repeat the adjustment from the beginning.
This is how manual configuration is done. Fine adjustment is carried out using a tachometer. All actions are the same, only the screws are turned based on the data of the tachometer. Thanks to this device, the carburetor can be adjusted faster.
