MS200 High Speed Limiter caps

GregHarrison · Feb 27, 2006

Just set the idle speed and readjusted the lo speed settings. The problem next is Stihl sets the high speed out against the limiter and I would guess for emissions, it runs a bit on the lean side. I would think this is common. Can someone please tell me the best way to get to the limiter caps to snip the ends. Did not want to do much without some advise, as you guys have loads of good knowledge.
Thanks in advance!

The new limiter caps are more user-friendly and easily removable. remove the rubber access cover and then reach in with needlenose pliers and slide the limiter cap off the adjustment screw. After you're done adjusting, slide it back on.

I get tired of messing with them, so I pull them, take the ears off and put them back on. Just be careful pulling the cap on that 200, as the screw is out of the carb a good way, and if you torque it, you can break it.

heat the end of a small screw driver and reach in and melt the ear's off.
