    Question:
    Hello, i bought a Husqvarna K760 demo saw. I live at 5300' elevation, and use this saw between 5000' and 11,000. Upon brand new purchase of saw and husky oil, brought it down to the local dealer asking how to achieve better performance at higher elevation. we3 proceded to start saw for the first time, warmed up, and adjusted the low, then went to adjust the high to no avail, tried turning both cw and ccw all the way and saw continued to run wide open. We then cut into a scrap pile of steel and saw immedietly bogged down, basically no power under load, although still cutting, just terribly slow. Why cant we adjust the highs? Do you need the serial number? The mix was perfect and well shaken up. Thank you, Anthony

    Hi

    Thanks for contacting the Answer Army to post your questions.

    The K760's carburator is set at the factory. If the dealer who has adjusted the carburetor has looked in the workshop manual for the carb settings, he wouldn't find them. What he would find under the carb adjustment section of the workshop manual is a note that says "Adjustments must not be made to the nozzles.. The high and low jets on the carburetor have been set at the factory. These should not be readjusted." The idle speed is the only adjustment that can be made on the carb. If there were adjustments that were supposed to be made on that carb, that information would only be available to the authorized service center. The EPA has federally regulated that information due to emissions.

     

    Thanks again from the Husqvarna Technical Services Team.
