395xp carb question

[Clyde S. Dale]

Hello,

Long time listener, first time caller. I decided to trim the limiting tab off the H screw on the carb. I did a search here and found great instructions on how to do that. What it did not tell me is can I leave the limiting cap off the H screw for good? There was no limiter on the other 2. It does not seem that there is any benefit unless you leave the cap off. Can I do that? My concern is that the vibrations from running will cause the H screw to back out. The saw is a 2004 in case anyone is wondering.

I will also be ordering a tach for tuning and will definitely be using the search function to research the best options. Thanks in advance for any input.

Leave it off. The spring on the needle is what puts enough pressure on it to stop it from backing out. The first thing i do when i get a saw is get rid of the limiter caps (if equipped).
