Remove walbro carb screw limiters

[7sleeper]

Dear community,

Since most of the information(pics, videos & links) is forever lost here since the linky debacle, I see myself obliged to open a new thread.

I am aware of using a dry wall screw to remove the "epa" caps but this model is more than resilient. It is on a walbro carb and I would like to remove it in a way as to reapply after correction. If I pull it I can only get it off 1-2mm. That's all. After that it just snaps in place and I could hang the saw from the limiter!
Any one an idea?

Here is a pic from the outside.

Thanks for the help!

No one an idea? This forum is really losing fast.

I don't bother to remove that style of cap, I just use a knife and trim the little stops off of the caps.

Easy! The site was down. Most of us are just getting caught up.

I'd just force it, with the concession that it will probably break, at which time it gets replaced with a better carb.

it is made to be adjusted. slide it off as far as it goes fairly easly, then stick a very small screwdriver in the center of it and adjust the needle.
or just cut the tabs

Had more to do that everyone was talking about Brads situation. But that's ok and I fully understand.

That's what I assumed and tried but it still doesn't work. I'll try later again.

I'm with ya, man. It's been tough here lately. Just trying to push through it.

Well guys after a few days fooling around and trying multiple times the below technique without success I got a little and ground off half of the tabs.

These little caps just didn't slide off far enough off the screws for me to adjust. Even after dismanteling the carb I wasn't succesfull and I was really pulling hard! I used my dremel clone to remove part of the tab. After that adjusted the carb L to 2700 and H to 13200rpm.

Thanks to all!
