I've got a Homelite 16" chain saw. A few years older, but very
similiar to this model:
http://www.homelite.com/catalog/chain_saws/UT10516

It starts easily and idles fine. If I squeeze the throttle the tiniest
amount it'll rev right up, almost to what seems like full speed.

However, as soon as I squeeze the throttle enough to actually use it,
it stalls.

I've tried adjusting the H & L screws, starting at the center and
turning them in small increments in both directions, but they don't
seem to make any difference.

Any thoughts?
