Removing Stihl Limiter Caps

[Wolf Bley]

There is a video showing what looks like a torx bit and left hand turning of the limiter. At the end the limiter just comes out. I have destroyed the limiter with dry wall screws and look forward to trying left hand removal in the future. wolf

I did this yesterday. I used a tiny wood screw. It didn't take many turns to get it stuck enough so I could turn the screw CCW to get the tabs to line up with the slot and pull the limiter out. Not much damage o the limters, I put them back on after cutting the tabs.

I just turned the buggers until they snapped..aaahh, now my ms362 became fully adjustable. I inadvertently did the same with my ps420 previously. Those tabs snapped easily.

2011 ms362; 2012? PS420.

My Echo was easier to do “properly”.

Does anyone know if the STiHL Fs-130 r brush cutter carb have the red limiter caps on the adjustment screws.

It depends on the carb if they have limiter caps or not. These Zama limiter caps are black and not red like on some Walbro carburetors.
