I just removed my spark arrester and the metal "bracket" (for lack of the correct term) it surrounded from inside the muffler on my '97 model Husqvarna 36. Will this increase my horsepower, speed, etc.?

Here's what I did to a similar saw. Just to let you know how lean the poulans are. I just got a poulan pro 220 from TX. It still had limiter caps on and was a 2001 year. The H was set at 1/2 turn out from needle seated postion and could only be turned to 3/4 max with caps on. I pulled the muffler and took out the baffle and screen and opened the back holes with the screwdriver too. It took just past 1 1/4 turns to get the 4 stroking sound you talk about. Just showing 1/2 turn from factory seems to lean. The rpm's it was doing put the fear of the lean condition in my mind too. Now I feel better about it being alittle richer. Note I took out baffle and spark screen and opened up holes in muffler. You will need to adjust your carb too for the mods and probably the carb needs adjusted anyway if it is factory set to lean anyway.
