Too small and nobody here likes them, not even when bled instantly and properly filleted. Unless it's something new and weird, snapper, john dory, or kingfish are the only ones I keep. Which is easy because I do heaps of fishing but SFA catching. A legal kingie (75cm) from the 'yak still hasn't happened...yet.Why'd you let those salmons go?
Post a pic of themIs removing the limiter carb plugs on a Stihl 291 as straightforward as removing them on an Echo?
I’ll post a pic tomorrow. Thanks.Post a pic of them
Those look different than the Homelite and Echo ones that I’ve “spayed” but I would think a wood screw should remove them. Maybe a Stihl guy can comment.View attachment 762801
I got off my lazy butt and took a pic. Friend of mine wants me to get him a little better performance out of his 291.

You have to turn that piece all the way to the left, then pull it out, once you do that you grind the piece that keeps it from turning and then put it back in.View attachment 762801

Outwardly it looks like the MS201TC (non m-tronic) I have on my bench, which only had the metal surround over the H screw. It had a metal pin you have to drill out , then the whole internal part (which is attached to the needle) moves freely.Those look different than the Homelite and Echo ones that I’ve “spayed” but I would think a wood screw should remove them.

There is a stihl tool for doing this. It's basically a reverse threaded screw on the end of a screwdriver. I just use a drywall screw and turn it in, it takes a few tries, but I'm not doing them every day.
Looks like I'm wrong, they're not the same system. Never removed any other stihl limiters besides this 201T, I mostly see older or m-tronic.

I turned it the whole way to the left, then used a broken screw extractor that keeps it left but I can’t get it to pull out.The 201 is the same.
You can do it that, but it will still have the limiter.
The way I do it you never have to use that little 2mm Allen wrench again.
Did you see in the video where he showed how the cover lines up with the outside of the carb. The image was a bit out of focus in the video at that point, but there is a line on the outside ridge where the metal limiter cover goes into the carb.I turned it the whole way to the left, then used a broken screw extractor that keeps it left but I can’t get it to pull out.
That’s awesome! Probably faster than the splitter too.I was going to bring my splitter to the wood since these rounds were so big, but felt like running some saws. Started at first light, two tanks later with the 661 and 20 inch bar, they were all noodled up. Man that saw rips with a 20 inch bar.

Got it Brett. Finally saw that tiny keyway slot across the face ridge of the cap. I can grind out the 2 limiter stops on it and be good to go. Thank you.Did you see in the video where he showed how the cover lines up with the outside of the carb.

If you don't get it I have a 291 in the basement I'll get out and pull it on for you, just let me know if you need me too.
Heading to bed now.
