I put a 79cc p&c on my 6401 Makita. I can't remove the limiter caps. I tried gently prying and also tried a small needle nose plier, but it wont slide off and I don't want to force it and break something. I heated the tip of an old small screwdriver and melted the 'tit' off the limiter cap, but I would still like to remove the cap because I can't get the saw to sputter at high rpm- no load. Whats the best way to remove the caps?

I was refering to the limiters on my 575xp. They look "like" the ones in your first picture. I used dikes to nip off the limiting tabs, then I used a utility (razor) knife to trim and smooth. I realize that carbs can be really hard to get to and dikes would be a joke with some saws, but they worked for me.
