Where at on the tilloston carb on a 2100 is the governer at? Everyone says that is you block it you can change the carb max settings. Is this good or bad? Should you leave the governer alone?

Thanks for the reply! I remember trying to remove it before...man is that sucker in there but I can get it out. Does it run a lot better without it?
I have blocked them off on several 288's without a problem and I can't see where it would make them any more prone to leaning out if the carb is tuned correctly.

i too blocked mine...2100,288,281...iam no expert but,when i got my 288 used, the guy had it checked at a dealer (tach)....new piston & cyclinder...good to go right....when i looked the saw over i missed the governor..hidden behind the ign.module..the saw was using 50:1 ratio....i used my 32:1 mix to try this saw out....the saw ran great...4 stroking heavy out of the cut...started cutting some big maple and this things just screaming..sounded like it was leaning out just a tad...still 4 stroking hard out of the cut...so i lean it out...still 4 stroking...wtf...check the plug...scary white...thats when i realized its got a governor......
to help answer the op..question...my question is.....would it make them more prone to leaning out if you leave the governor alone..???? or should you just get used to tuning it in the cut...????
block #4 hole only. the arrows at #3 are also the passage that supplies the high speed jet.
a husky mechanic from that era said the 2100 was not hard to seize and the gov was a prudent precaution. given the availability and price of parts i would heed his advice.
I have an idea of what the governor "might" do, but I'm not tellin.....
Does any one "know" how it functions and is willing to tell.
Thanks
