Echo 302 idle speed questions

[LAWN BOY]

My Echo Kioritz 302 idles really high. I can’t find an idle screw adjustment on the carburetor. Is there one? If so, where? What should the H and L be set at? I feel kind of dumb for asking because I know I figured out how to lower the idle a few months ago but now I can’t figure it out for the life of me. Thanks for your time.

It should be the screw that is in the cast pump housing cover on the carb, that acts on the quadrant on the throttle shaft to hold the throttle blade open.

If it ran great a few months ago, and now it's idling really high, I'd be suspect of air leaks. Might not be the case, but with older equipment it can happen. Good luck

I just had a look at my CS302 and you will have to take your air filter
cover off remove the air filter and pull your choke on a tad and you will see the
screw to adjust your throttle. Funny way they have done it but there it is.
If I remember when I did mine I made it a bit faster as when I put the
air filter back it slowed back a bit.

Thank you! Kinda a funny location indeed.
