you will have to cut off the limiter tabs on the screws

Thanks bud i been doing alot of reading up on tuning these saws in the last few weeks just dont wana wind up burnin saw up. How do u go about cutting limiter tabs off the screws?

Today i pulled both adjusting needles out and i got down to the plastic piece that the needles go thro with the limiting tab in the center when i was removing it it broke into 2 pieces and i could only find one does any body know where i may b able 2 find a dealer that may sell a part like that and is the the correct part that i have 2 cut the tab off of?

The limiters are on the ends of the L/H needles. They can be tossed or you can trim the limiting tab and re-install.
The collar that the limiters fit into can be omitted. If you want to replace it, your dealer should be able to order that piece.

I'm new to all of this aswell and another member and I ported a 455 . If it's a strato they can be tricky to tune I guess. Pick up an inexpensive tach. Seeing the numbers and listening while tuning helped me develop somewhat of an ear for things. As for the limiters, I have pulled them off everything I own. The plastic piece is optional. Good luck. It's addicting
