Order part #1122-140-0800


It will be a lot louder........a lot!!!!!
.

Thanks much for the info. Since I do some cutting in town after a big wind comes thru now and then, the deep, throaty sound of a modded saw might attract more ladies. For some reason, my hockey mask turns them away...?

My dual port wich maybe a walkers is rather quiet behind it until it echos off the wood. Muffs a must ears will ring with just plugs.

Stick it on now, but adjust your carb..... which means removing and replacing the limiter caps..

Do I need to make it more rich or lean it our a little now? and the tool I have for removing my limiter caps will ruin them, but I can get them off.

Oh, and I love this saw!

 

[GASoline71]

Spend the 5 bucks and get the Stihl limiter cap removal thingy... you'll be glad you did.

You'll need to richen the carb up...

Richer,, and get the right tool... Slice the tabs if you insist, but you need the caps back on.

The tool I have for removing the limiter caps looks like a sheetmetal screw on the end of a 1/16" t handle. It screws into the limiter cap and then you wiggle it around a little while pulling and presto, you have one removed limiter cap. THe problem is that it seems to enlarge the hole in the middle of the cap, which looks like it would be enough for someone to tell that it has been messed with.

What does the right tool look like, or do I have the right tool. I got this from a RedMax dealer. He told me that this is the tool that Redmax gave him for workinh on the saws.

When I removed the limiter caps with the tool I have, (which didn't destroy them) it messed up the factories pre set adjustments. I was able to re- adjust the low end so it "four strokes" It sounds pretty much like it did before, however when I messed with the high end jet it didn't seem to make a lick of difference what I did, it just throttled up and actually sounded like it was going to explode it revved up so high. With out a tach what is a good rule of thumb for adjusting the high side. I had the high side adjustment screw all the way in (bottomed out) and I backed it out quite a ways, it all sounded the same to me???

Keep in mind I did all of this in my garage and I have no wood here to test out my adjustments in the cut.

P.S. Madsens web site is currently down, so I couldn't look at their carb adjustment instructions.

 

[Lakeside53]

Set your H and L screws one turn out... Then fine adjustments from those points. The H wil be pretty close to that (within an 1/8 turn) when you are finished. If you are unsure, leave it at 1 turn out.

Go buy some new limiter caps (50c each), slice the tab and pop them back on.

The correct tool is a left hand thread - like a tiny bolt - in a handle. It screws into the hole in the center, rotates the cap to the slot postion, and jacks it off (the cap...) as you screw it in. Very simple, and cheap.
