Is it really running perfectly at high speed - to check, find out how many turns out the H screw is, it should be around 1. You should at least get it pressure checked, then maybe change the L screw, but may be safer/quicker to get a new carb.To set the low speed, set the low speed screw at 1 turn. Start the saw and warm it up. Set idle screw so it idles. If it bogs down when you hit the throttle, richen it up (counter clock wise). Let it idle for 20 seconds and tip the saw forward. If it stalls, then lean it out.The 029 Super/290 has 3.8-4.1 HP (depending on the muffler). Stock Parts for 1127 saws are easy to find and available, as there were a ton of them sold.
