Chainsaw only struts and runs on full throttle

HI, Im trying to start my Talon small chainsaw and tune it up to cut better.
I have read about the Idle screw , the H and L screws.

My saw starts on full throttle and after a minute or 3 of warm up I try to go to 'run' mode' . When I get from Full choke to Half Choke it revs really fast and then when I move to normal run IT just dies. Stops dead.

The H and L have been wound all the way in and back 1 full turn.

Any ideas where I should start to fix the start issue?

First set the mixture screws at 1.5 turns CCW from lightly seated. This is the normal will start settings.

Depending on the age of your saw it might be time to clean and refurbish the carburetor as diaphragm gaskets may have stiffen.

I have seemingly got it working with some luck I expect more than my skills BUT greatly from the forums assistance..

I will put the bar back on and chain and work on the idling. It starts well now and seems to rev well with trigger.

Will look at buying the kit or replacement carb to have for future.

Thanks for the help
