046 L & H carb screws

Couldn't find info doing a search.

How do you get those red L & H adjustment limiter caps off?

I want to open up the muffler a bit and need to make some carb adjustments.

they are intentionally installed with one-way clips and will bust up if you force them off. I've had success by using a new blade in a razor knife and slicing off the raised part off the side of the limiter caps so they can rotate unobstructed. I just did this on a new saw I received last month.


edited to add: I'd take Kennertree's advice, I was thinking about the HUsky limiter caps. Sorry for the confusion.

You can run a dry wall screw in the top of the cap and pull. They will usually come off but they have to be lined up right.

Sthil makes a little tool thats something like a screwdriver that screws into the holes of those caps and pulls them out. Ask ya dealer, he'll show ya one, cost bout 3.00...

Use the removal tool and clip off the lock tangs.
