Not sure they have a tool that pulls them off. Some say a drywall screw will work.

I tried it with a drywall screw but i can't pull them off.
Can i pull them only in one Position?

Those saws have odd limiters try a small pair of side cutters to trim the tabs.

The stihl limiter puller works

Should be all the way out counter-clockwise. I've found that if you get one shot with the tool (if not in right position it strips) after that it takes finesse.

There is a tool for there removal. It has left hand threads. Screw it down in the opening and it will turn the limiter to the left until it reaches the stop then pull it out. Set your carb. then replace the limiter. If you want the need in the middle of the available travel so that you will have a little adjustment either way you will have to turn the needle to compensate for the adjustment you will make on the needle to get it back to the middle of the adjustable space before you replace the limiter. I hope this is intelligible because I wrote it and I am having trouble understanding it. Tom
